note 78807 added to function.mssql-connect

After wasting mine and a few others' time on the PHP/freeTDS -> MSDE/MSSQL connection issue, I found this note in the main MSSQL documentation here in the php docs: """ Add the line: putenv('TDSVER=70'); just before calling mssql_connect() """ That's the thing that fixed it in my case, nothing else was necessary. good luck! ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 76.103.139.54 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mssql-connect.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/78807 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78807/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78807/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78807/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78807/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78807/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78807/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78807 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/78807 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
