PHP and a remote MS SQL server

[Anon]

How feasible would it be to get PHP to query a remote MS SQL server thats on the same network? I've got a webserver running NT and a database server running SQL Server 7 and I need them to work together.

Hi,

Sure it's possible.

On the webserver:
1-Install MSSQL Client libraries
2-Read the install.txt in the PHP distro and install PHP.
3-Activate the MSSQL extension or use ODBC
4-Read the PHP manual about ODBC or MSSQL layer and make tests.

Try to make all that work together and ask questions when you encounter a particular problem.
