note 36081 deleted from ref.mssql by sniper

Note Submitter: astercomp@@terra.com form Guatemala ---- I wasted 2 hours trying to figure out why I couldn't make the MSSQL functions work even if I had the correct dlls in the correct places and had edited my php.ini correctly: 1) My php.ini file was stored in c:\windows\system32 instead of c:\windows, so php used some defaults. I only realized this after viewing the results of the phpinfo() function. Under the "PHP Core" section, under "extension_dir" row, it had "C:\php4" as the parameter and I had just put "c:\php\extensions" and restarted the server. 2) Once I moved the file to the proper location, PHP started complaining about not finding php_msql.dll. Read carefully, I had uncommented php_msql.dll instead of php_mssql.dll in php.ini I hope this helps somebody out there.
