MS SQL and PHP

[adrian_quah]

I've just ported my app from favourite MySQL to MS SQL server.
I have enabled the Windows extension in php.ini as in:-

extension=php_mssql.dll

However, when i try to run php.exe, there is this message: -

Unable to load dynamic library './extensions/php_mssql.dll' - A device attached to the system is not functioning.

What can be wrong? i'm using Windows 98, Apache with PHP 4.2.3

Thanks a lot!

Did you use the Zip to install php? If not you will have to go find that dll and put it on your system.

php manual say:
"The extension requires the MS SQL Client Tools to be installed on the system where PHP is installed. The Client Tools can be installed from the MS SQL Server CD or by copying ntwdblib.dll from \winnt\system32 on the server to \winnt\system32 on the PHP box. Copying ntwdblib.dll will only provide access. Configuration of the client will require installation of all the tools."
