note 48982 deleted from function.mssql-connect by danbrown

Note Submitter: PyRo ---- There seems to be an issue with the MSSQL extension and Windows Server 2003 Web Edition that prevents a connection to an SQL server, reporting an error like this "Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection" when trying to use mssql_connect(). However, the bug seems to be residing in ntwdblib.dll, which comes with PHP and also with the Microsoft SQL Client. I've found that using the SQL Client's version of ntwdblib.dll (version 8.0+) fixes the issues with MSSQL, but unfortunately the SQL Client cannot be installed on the Web Edition version of Server 2003. So, the simple work-around or fix would be to obtain a newer version of ntwdblib.dll (8.0+) supplied from one of Microsoft's SQL applications and then overwrite your PHP version (7.0) with it on the Web Edition machine. This should allow proper connectivity with mssql_connect().
