note 89271 added to function.mssql-connect

After a great deal of testing various things I finally found a solution for connecting to a named instance of MS SQL Express. I first had to download version 200.80.194.0 of ntwdblib.dll and overwrite the existing version in c:\PHP. I then tried an instance name that was posted by "chop_01 at yahoo dot com" in this thread. The instance name is ".\SQLEXPRESS". For example: $dbconnect = mssql_connect(".\SQLEXPRESS", $dbUser, $dbPass); ---- Server IP: 208.69.120.35 Probable Submitter: 67.164.220.252 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mssql-connect.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/89271 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89271/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89271/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89271/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89271/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89271/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89271/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89271 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/89271 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
