Re: PHP 4/MS Sql Server

Hi, If your MS SQL Client is configured to use a non TCP/IP protocol as the default protocol you cant connect using ip addresses. If it uses Named Pipes you have to use the netbios name of the server or ask your ISP to configure a client connection for you, using a name (that you then use as first param in mssql_connect) and the protocol that they select. - Frank > I've been doing this: > > <? > $cn=mssql_connect (<IP address>, <UID>, <PWD>); > mssql_select_db(<db> , $cn); > ?> > > And it works like a dream on servers over which I have control.
