I wish to complete Cam's important note: The MS sqlsrv-Driver does not support mssql-functionality. It supports only sqlsrv-functions. A workaround with the old and deprecated ntwdblib.dll for mssql-functions will not help for use of php5.3 and MS SQL Server in the future. If you have some hundred php-scripts and tools like a CMS with mssql-functions in a lot of templates you would not be delighted in changing all of them for php5.3 with sqlsrv-functions! But maybe there are other solutions: php_dblib.dll with FreeTDS for Windows and ODBTP. I am still testing. Some helpful information are at http://docs.moodle.org/en/Installing_MSSQL_for_PHP I cannot understand why this essential change - no more php_mssql.dll since version 5.3.0 - was not listed in the change log - or where is it logged? - and php users have to waste hours and days to find out about this and an alternative. Who would guess the removing if there is a change log entry "Fixed bug #47087 (Second parameter of mssql_fetch_array()). (Felipe)" for version 5.3.0? ---- Server IP: 85.214.154.209 Probable Submitter: 84.131.26.227 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/migration53.removed-extensions.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/97069 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97069/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97069/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97069/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97069/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97069/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97069/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97069 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/97069 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
