note 73076 added to function.mssql-connect

I experienced hellish problems while trying to install PHP. I knew the codebase worked as it was running on another machine, but that was using PHP 4.3.3 and and I wanted to install PHP 5.2.0. An overview of my setup: My existing server: - IIS on Windows 2000, PHP 4.3.3. My new server: - IIS6 on Windows Server 2003, PHP 5.2.0 (ISAPI). My DB server: - MS SQL 2000. I encountered two problems, the first problem was with installing PHP 5.2.0 (zip file). The recommended php.ini did NOT work, even with modifications to directory settings. I would either get a blank screen or an error message. I discovered that the existing php.ini file used for our 4.3.3 deployment worked for 5.2.0! I needed to make a few subtle changes but I found that the supplied php.ini file in 5.2.0 simply did NOT work in my environment. I would need to do further testing to determine what the offending lines are. The second problem was with the ntwdblib.dll file. This was easily fixed by downloading a newer version (2000.80.194.0) from http://webzila.com and replacing the file in the C:\PHP directory. I hope this info is helpful! :) ---- Server IP: 203.16.234.20 Probable Submitter: 203.82.183.148 (proxied: 203.32.143.148) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mssql-connect.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/73076 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73076/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73076/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73076/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73076/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73076/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73076/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73076 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/73076 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
