I'm trying to connect my PHP webpage with my MS SQL database. I've got this code from the internet, but have tried others. All seems to come back with a problem with "mssql_connect".
I have tried (I think) everything and can not find out why it won't work.
My code is:
<?php
$myServer = 'SQL5008.Smarterasp.net,1433';
$myUser = '*****';
$myPass = '*****';
$myDB = '*****';
//connection to the database
$dbhandle = mssql_connect($myServer, $myuser, $myPass)
or die("Couldn't connect to SQL Server on $myServer");
//select a database to work with
$selected = mssql_select_db($myDB, $dbhandle)
or die("Couldn't open database $myDB");
//declare the SQL statement that will query the database
$query = "SELECT id ";
$query .= "FROM tblEmployees ";
$query .= "WHERE CompanyID=3";
//execute the SQL query and return records
$result = mssql_query($query);
$numRows = mssql_num_rows($result);
echo "<h1>" . $numRows . " Row" . ($numRows == 1 ? "" : "s") . " Returned </h1>";
//display the results
while($row = mssql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo "<li>" . $row["id"] . $row["name"] . $row["year"] . "</li>";
}
//close the connection
mssql_close($dbhandle);
?>
