note 58787 added to function.mssql-connect

The recently released SQL Server 2005 Express will work with MSSQL functions. Here are some caveats: 1) The version of ntwdblib.dll supplied with PHP will not work with Server 2005 (Win32 only). You must use a newer version. The version supplied with SQL Sever 2000 (2000.80.194.0) seems to work well. 2) You must set up mssql_connect to reference the server AND the instance name, eg: mssql_connect("MyPC\SQLEXPRESS","MyUser","MyPwd"); Although the MSSQL functions work, you might want to consider using the new 'pdo_odbc' (PHP 5.1) with SQL Server 2005 Express for any new code you are writing. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mssql-connect.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+58787 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58787&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58787&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58787&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58787&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58787&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58787&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58787&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+58787&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
