PHP + MSSQL

hmsilveira

Hi all,

I'm trying to install PHP with MSSQL under windows OS and i need your help.

Everythins works fine without this extension.

I install php-5.2.12-win32-installer with IIS 7.

My PHP Files are at c:\program files\php. In php.ini i uncomment the line about mssql, the extension dir is also well configured but i have always the sames error: "Fatal error: Call to undefined function mssql_connect() in H:..."

I read some articles about this issue and tried a lot of tips but nothing works.

Anyone can give some ideas how to solve this issue?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Did you restart Apache server after changing php.ini?

Run
phpinfo();
to see if mssql is loaded.

There are some hits with google:
"IIS" "undefined function mssql_connect"

Hi halojoy,

Thank you for your reply.

My issue is solved. I just have to put my php.ini inside windows directory and take it off from php dir.

I think a better solution would be to include the php install dir into PATH.
Only have a WinXp install available atm, but i dont think it is much/any different in the later (server) OS's. Right click my computer -> properties -> advanced tab -> environment variables -> find Path in the system variables window -> select it and press edit -> add c:\php; to the beginning (or the path to where php is installed)

I followed this guide http://www.peterguy.com/php/install_IIS6.html when i installed PHP on Win Server 2003, might be some useful info even if its intended for an older system.

Crowly is right; throwing files into random system directories doesn't fix anything. Here's a quote from my how-to guide in this forum:

Note: You should never copy any PHP-related file outside of the main PHP installation directory (e.g. c:\php) into a system directory!
