Strange problem

[phpprogrammer]

Dear Frined,

I am connecting to mssql server as follows

<?php
$server='200.200.200.200';
$uname='suresh';
$pword='indian';

mssql_conect($server,$uname,$pword);

?>

I am not able to connect if the code is as follows

<?php
$server='mssql.sureshbabu.com';
$uname='suresh';
$pword='indian';

mssql_conect($server,$uname,$pword);

?>

instead of using the ipaddress , i am using the servername,

I am connecting to the database by using servername with the mssql query analyser but through php programme

what is the problem.

regards

Spelling mssql_connect right would be a good start.

Dear Frined,

its is typing mistake while I am posting the question.

I found the solution

use gethostbyname('mssql.sureshbabu.com');
