Connecting to MSSQL Server 2005 using PHP PDO - php

Question

I'm trying to establish a connection with PHP and MS SQL Server 2005. I'm using IIS 8 in Windows 8 and PHP version 5.3.28. I already done my research, I've found MSSQL PHP PDO (http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.pdo-sqlsrv.connection.php and http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff754357(v=sql.105).aspx), downloaded and enabled all of PDO related DLLs I've found from Microsoft website (Microsoft Drivers 3.0 for PHP for SQL Server) and assured they are reflecting in phpinfo().
extension=php_pdo_sqlsrv_52_nts_vc6.dll
extension=php_pdo_sqlsrv_53_nts.dll
extension=php_pdo_sqlsrv_53_nts_vc6.dll
extension=php_pdo_sqlsrv_53_nts_vc9.dll
extension=php_pdo_sqlsrv_54_nts.dll
extension=php_pdo_sqlsrv_54_nts.dll
extension=php_sqlsrv_54_nts.dll
extension=php_sqlsrv_53_ts_vc9.dll
The following links in Stock Over Flow also helped me alot in my dilemma:
Connect to SQL Server through PDO using SQL Server Driver
Error connecting to MSSQL with SQLSrv and PHP 5.4.7
How can I connect to Sql Server from a Mac with PHP PDO?
Connecting to mssql using pdo through php and linux
I'm able to fix the "driver not found" and "connection string is invalid" issues, and here's my current PHP codes:
$db_server = "func.website.com,8787";
//$db_server = "func.website.com:8787\sqlexpress";
$db_database = "db_BreadNButter";
$db_user = "tinapay";
$db_passwd = "p#ssword";
try {
//$db = new PDO ("mssql:host=$db_server;dbname=$db_database;", $db_user, $db_passwd);
$db = new PDO ("sqlsrv:Server=$db_server;Database=$db_database;", $db_user, $db_passwd);
} catch(PDOException $exception) {
die("Unable to open database.<br>Error message:<br><br>$exception.");
}
I think (fingers-crossed) that I already established a connection to MSSQL DBase, but I'm getting the error below:
exception 'PDOException' with message 'SQLSTATE[08001]:
[Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 11.0]TCP Provider: Timeout error [258].
' in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\breadnbutter\class.connection.php:12 Stack trace: #0
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\breadnbutter\class.connection.php(12):
PDO->__construct('sqlsrv:Server=f...', 'tinapay', 'p#ssword') #1 {main}.
Can anyone enlighten me on why am I getting timeout errors and how can I fix this?

Answer 1

The port should be func.website.com:8787. You have a typo with the comma.
