note 38936 added to function.mssql-pconnect

I spent hours trying to connect to a remote SQL server. I was able to connect fine using ODBC but not using the mssql_ library. The trick to making this work is not only installing the client component of SQL on the PHP server but also using the Client Network Utility to (a) set the default protocol to TCP/IP (b) set up an Alias to the remote hostname/ip address. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mssql-pconnect.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+38936 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+38936&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+38936&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
