note 93355 added to book.mssql

i struggled with sqlsrv_connect for some time, first i had to get native client 2008 to get it to work, 2005 was not enough. then i got som note that dll was compiled with wrong version, so i had to use test version 1.1 istead of 1.0 of the client and pick the version called php_sqlsrv_53_ts_vc6.dll but still no success with connect. finally i spent 7 hours testing things before i found out: $serverName = "(local)"; ERROR for me $serverName = "localhost\myinstansofdatabase"; //WOHOOOO ---- Server IP: 212.63.193.10 Probable Submitter: 85.24.193.6 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.mssql.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/93355 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93355/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93355/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93355/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93355/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93355/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93355/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93355 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/93355 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
