connecting to SQL Server via PHP is failing - php

I have a script that creates 2 connections to the database using PDO.
The first connection is made to a SQL Server and the second one is to MySQL.
The script was working fine until yesterday. I can't think of anything that could have changed. but the script now is failing
This is the exception that I am getting when trying to connect to SQL Server
SQLSTATE[IMSSP]: Invalid value 1 specified for option PDO::SQLSRV_ATTR_QUERY_TIMEOUT.
I am running PHP 6.6 on Apache 2.4.12
I reviewed the script and the connection should be working with no issues.
This is my connection string
$connString = 'sqlsrv:Server=MyIP,1433;Database=MyDBname';
$pdo_opt[PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE] = PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION;
$pdo_opt[PDO::ATTR_DEFAULT_FETCH_MODE] = PDO::FETCH_ASSOC;
$pdo_opt[PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_INIT_COMMAND] = 'SET NAMES utf8';
$pdo_opt[PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_LOCAL_INFILE] = true;
$pdo_opt[PDO::SQLSRV_ATTR_ENCODING] = PDO::SQLSRV_ENCODING_UTF8;
try {
$pdo = new PDO($connString, $username, $password, $pdo_opt);
} catch(Exception $e){
exit($e->getMessage());
}
How can I correct this issue? or where should I start to investigate this issue?

I figured it out. I fixed it by adding this line of code
$pdo_opt[PDO::SQLSRV_ATTR_QUERY_TIMEOUT] = 30;

How to connect to mysql database with php?

I'm using Jetbrains and Mysql to work on this practical project, but when I connect to the mysql
database it gives me the following error:
C:\wamp64\bin\php\php5.6.40\php.exe C:\wamp64\www\Social_Network\Includes\connection.php
Connection failed: SQLSTATE[HY000] [1049] Unknown database 'social_network'
Process finished with exit code 0
I made sure several times that the database name is the same name and there are
no spelling errors at all (I copy pasted it from the database)
Here's my code:
<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "";
try {
$conn = new PDO("mysql:host=$servername;dbname=social_network", $username, $password);
// set the PDO error mode to exception
$conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
echo "Connected successfully";
} catch (PDOException $e) {
echo "Connection failed: " . $e->getMessage();
}
//?>
Welll, there's little that can be done about it. MySQL thinks that the database does not exist.
is the server the correct one?
is the case sensitivity set correctly? "Social_Network" and "social_network" might be considered different.
can you access the database with those parameters using a different tool (e.g. HeidiSQL, SQLYog, SQLterm, in a pinch even phpMyAdmin)?
Actually, JetBrains PHPStorm has a SQL terminal utility that can diagnose the connection. You may want to use it (once it knows what database you're connecting to, it will also warn you of several possible errors such as using the wrong table name or column name).

PHP Connection to SQL Server DB

I am having connection issues when trying to connect from a PHP script to a SQL server database.
I have used the PDO method - My script can be seen below, connecting using Windows authentication, the object referenced in my script has been created in the database, roles and permissions have been defined.
I am testing locally using WAMP, calling a simple file called insert.php from the webroot.
My SQL server is installed on the same machine and my SQL version is 2012.
The script when executed should simply echo the results of the PATIENT table to the screen for now.
In both of my Apache and PHP versions of the php.ini file i have added the necessary extension to use the sqlsrv drivers and installed all the of the necessary drivers.
Yet still I get the error:
could not find driver1
The script:
<?php
try
{
$conn = new PDO("sqlsrv:Server=localhost ;Database=MindTrackDb", "", "");
$conn->setAttribute( PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION );
}
catch(Exception $e)
{
die( print_r( $e->getMessage() ));
}
$tsql = "SELECT * FROM PATIENT";
$getResults = $conn->prepare( $tsql);
$getResults->execute();
$results - $getResults->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_BOTH);
foreach($results as $row) {
echo $row['PATIENT_ID'].''.$row['FORENAMES'].''.$row['SURNAME'].''.$row['EMAIL'];
echo '<br>';
}
?>
My question is 2 part really:
A) Is this the best method to communicate to a SQL server database with PHP or is there a better method?
B) What could the driver error possibly be - I have followed various suggestions from here and nothing has worked.

PHP Oracle connection

I am attempting to write some connection code with PHP to a Oracle database my school is hosting.
I'm using oci_connect() at the moment to make this connection, but it is failing.
$conn = oci_connect('username', 'password', 'hostname/SID');
I can access the oracle database through sqlDeveloper, as well as phpmyadmin, so I know the login information is correct.
I checked the oracle version with select * from v$version;, it shows as 12c Enterprise.
What is wrong with my php code for connecting? Is there a better way to make an oracle connection through PHP?
This is the test code I'm running, from http://php.net/manual/en/function.oci-error.php
<?php
echo "running";
$conn = oci_connect("username", "paswwrod", "address/SID");
if (!$conn) {
$e = oci_error(); // For oci_connect errors do not pass a handle
trigger_error(htmlentities($e['message']), E_USER_ERROR);
}
echo "ending";
?>
The string "running" gets echoed, but "ending" does not, the script just stops working when it attempts oci_connect()
have you also tried including the port number to the oracle db server like so?
$conn = oci_connect("user", "pass", "localhost:1234/xe");

Trying to connect with sql server database

I'm trying to connect sql server with php, i'm trying to get info from the database..
Now, here is what i got:
try {
$user = '';
$pass = '';
$objDb = new PDO('mysql:host=192.168.10.250;dbname=WEB_POROSIA',
'$user', '$pass');
$objDb->exec('SET CHARACTER SET utf8');
$sql = "SELECT *
FROM 'WEB_POROSIA'
";
$statement = $objDb->query($sql);
$list = $statement->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
} catch(PDOException $e) {
echo $e->getMessage();
}
I receive this error:
SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
This is my first attempt to connect php with sql server, and i don't know what this output means, i mean i don't know what might cause it!
I'm using xampp.
Thanks
It appears that you are trying to connect using the wrong driver.
For Sql Server you might want to use PDO ODBC driver not the mysql method you are trying to use.
You need to use a different DBO driver.
Check out other ODBC drivers, i.e PDO.
The code you have written tries to connect to a MySQL database rather than a MSSQL one.
You'll want to do something like this:
$db_connection = new PDO("dblib:dbname=$db_name;host=$host", $username, $password);

Call to undefined function query() - using PDO in PHP

I have a written a script in PHP that reads from data from a MySQL database. I am new to PHP and I have been using the PDO library. I have been developing on a Windows machine using the WAMP Server 2 and all has been working well. However, when I uploaded my script to the LINUX server where it will be used I get the following error when I run my script.
Fatal error: Call to undefined function query()
This is the line where the error is occuring ...
foreach($dbconn->query($sql) as $row)
The variable $dbconn is first defined in my dblogin.php include file which I am listing below.
<?php
// Login info for the database
$db_hostname = 'localhost';
$db_database = 'MY_DATABASE_NAME';
$db_username = 'MY_DATABASE_USER';
$db_password = 'MY_DATABASE_PASSWORD';
$dsn = 'mysql:host=' . $db_hostname . ';dbname=' . $db_database . ';';
try
{
$dbconn = new PDO($dsn, $db_username, $db_password);
$dbconn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
}
catch (PDOException $e)
{
echo 'Error connecting to database: ' . $e->getMessage();
}
?>
Inside the function where the error occurs I have the database connection defined as a superglobal as such ...
global $dbconn;
I am a bit confused as to what is happening since all worked well on my development machine. I was wondering if the PDO library was installed but from what I thought it was installed by default as part of PHP v5.
The script is running on an Ubuntu (5.0.51a-3ubuntu5.4) machine and the PHP version is 5.2.4. Thank you for any suggestions. I am really lost on this.
Always, but always, develop on the same platform as your production platform. Try your best to mirror the versions of server software (PHP, MySQL, etc). There will always be differences between installs, and especially in the way different OS platforms handle things. Use the old 'phpinfo()' script on each server to compare the differences, if any.
At any rate, even if both the Win and Linux platforms here have the exact same versions of everything, have you checked your configuration? In other words, is the MySQL host name in your DSN a local MySQL host (linked to your Win development platform), or the actual host the Ubuntu server uses? Or are they both "localhost" in either case? Double check this. Also, have you mirrored all data on both servers?
Do you know for a fact that the Ubuntu server has PDO? You essentially said you assume they are the same. Don't assume, verify.
As sobedai mentioned, look at the output of var_dump($dbconn), check that it is actually a PDO object, and go from there.
This is a typical PDO deployment for me:
// 'logger' is a custom error logging function with email alerts
try {
$dbh= new PDO(dsn);
if ( is_a($dbh, "PDO") ) {
$sql= 'SELECT field FROM table';
$stmt= $dbh->query($sql);
if ( is_a($stmt, "PDOStatement") ) {
// handle resultset
}
else {
// weirdness, log it
logger("Error with statement: {$sql}" .$dbh->errorCode());
}
}
else {
// some weirdness, log it
logger('Error making connection: '. $dbh->errorCode());
}
}
catch (PDOException $e) {
logger('PDOException caught in '.__FILE__.' : '. $e->getMessage());
}
catch (Exception $e) {
logger('General Exception caught in '.__FILE__.' : '. $e->getMessage());
}
Note I'm using PDO::errorCode in there, referencing the SQL-92 state codes.
Also, refer to the manual as much as possible.
Generally when this happens, the object you're trying to reference is not actually an instance of a class.
Since you've been developing on WAMP and testing on LAMP, include paths immediately come to mind.
Check the php includes path is correct on your LAMP stack.
Check that all the necessary libs are installed (just do a quick phpinfo() page or you can use php -i from the command line).
And last but not least - do:
echo var_dump($dbconn);
confirm that it is indeed the object you think it is.
