note 29026 added to function.mssql-connect

Using MULTIPLE INSTANCE of MSSQL 2000 1. Windows environment it's simple. You can connect the database as many other people do. $cnx = mssql_connect("hostname\\INSTANCE_NAME", "id", "pwd"); 2. Linux or FreeBSD environment it's not simple... You cannot connect the database as described above. FreeTDS does not understand the form like "hostname\\instancename", so above code will make error. Because multiple instance use dynamic port other than default port 1433, you have to specify the port number which is assigned for the instance. $cnx = mssql_connect("hostname:portno", "id", "pwd"); ( portno ; port number which is assigned for the instance in MSSQL 2k. ) But, problems occur in finding the right port number for instance because of dynamic assignment of port number. ... and... i don't know how can I find the number using protocol over 139/445. --; Is there anybody help me? -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mssql-connect.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+29026 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+29026 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+29026
