Note Submitter: Colorado(Mike) ---- Using: I have two W2k3 machines up and networked in a lan. One is running PHP 5.2.8, with IIS and MySQL. 2nd is running MsSQL 5.0 Enterprise. I created php code to sync between the two, which works wonderfully from a browser and from a command prompt. I have gotten PHP to run successfully with this code: <?PHP echo "running script "; $WshShell = new COM("WScript.Shell"); $oExec = $WshShell->Run('c:\php\php.exe c:\datasync.php', 0, false); ?> It communicates beautifully with the MySQL installation that is local to that machine, but the moment it tries to access the MsSQL on the other machine it fails to connect. I have verified that it is attempting to login with the correct information through outputting error_log with the variables, and have checked the MsSQL machine and its not even receiving a login request. Has anyone else tried to do this or know of a reason why wshell would be blocking a TCP communication?
