sorry! repost! I should have filed this as a new thread instead of commenting on an existing thread with the SAME problem!
Yes I've triple checked my new install of PHP for SQL Server 2005
I've tried all the following and got error messages
My IIS works for other non MS SQL Server operations!
The code below comes from MS sites!
(1)
<?php
// Server in the this format: <computer>\<instance name> or
// <server>,<port> when using a non default port number
// $server = 'LANDON\SQLEXPRESS'; didn't work either
$server = '(local)\sqlexpress';
$link = mssql_connect($server, 'sa', 'PW');
if(!$link)
{
die('Something went wrong while connecting to MSSQL');
}
?>
error:
Warning: mssql_connect() [function.mssql-connect]: Unable to connect to server: (local)\sqlexpress in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\trymssql.php on line 7
Something went wrong while connecting to MSSQL
(2) code from MS site!
<?php
/* Specify the server and connection string attributes. */
$serverName = "(local)";
$connectionInfo = array( "Database"=>"AdventureWorks");

$conn = sqlsrv_connect( $serverName, $connectionInfo);
if( $conn === false )
{
echo "Unable to connect.</br>";

}

$tsql = "SELECT CONVERT(varchar(32), SUSER_SNAME())";
$stmt = sqlsrv_query( $conn, $tsql);

}

$row = sqlsrv_fetch_array($stmt);
echo "User login: ".$row[0]."</br>";
/* Free statement and connection resources. */
sqlsrv_free_stmt( $stmt);
sqlsrv_close( $conn);
