note 108919 added to book.mssql

I have to deal with a legacy code, so no time rewrite and TEST all the code using SQLSRV instead of mssql. Trying to set up the system on my laptop running windows vista I've got two big issues: 1. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't get mssql working on php 5.3. When I got version 5.2 all came smoothly. 2. Then I was trapped in the unpleasant error message "Unicode data in a Unicode-only collation or ntext data cannot be sent to clients using DB-Library (such as ISQL) or ODBC version 3.7 or earlier". I worked around that installing FreeTDS. As others have said here the instructions are available on moodle.org Happy days now!!!! ---- Server IP: 94.76.225.145 Probable Submitter: 86.6.138.67 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.mssql.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/108919 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108919/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108919/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108919/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108919/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108919/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108919/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108919 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/108919 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
