i want to connect to sql server
my php version is 5.4 and i have MS SQL Server 2008 R2 and i use PHP Codeigniger 2.4
i change database.php config
$db['default']['hostname'] = '192.168.5.208';
$db['default']['username'] = 'xxx';
$db['default']['password'] = 'xxx';
$db['default']['database'] = 'xxx';
$db['default']['dbdriver'] = 'sqlsrv';
$db['default']['dbprefix'] = '';
$db['default']['pconnect'] = TRUE;
$db['default']['db_debug'] = TRUE;
$db['default']['cache_on'] = FALSE;
$db['default']['cachedir'] = '';
$db['default']['char_set'] = 'utf8';
$db['default']['dbcollat'] = 'utf8_general_ci';
$db['default']['swap_pre'] = '';

i download sqlsrv30.exe.
install it in php/ext
i add the following on the php.ini file:
extension=php_sqlsrv_54_ts.dll
i install Native Client 10
i change sqlsrv_driver.php in folder database-driver-sqlsrv to
function db_pconnect() {
//return $this->db_connect(TRUE);
return $this->db_connect(TRUE);
}
i also try add
db['default']['port'] = 1433;
but its still not working. I always encountered the ff. error:
A Database Error Occurred

Answer 1

this solves it
change $db['default']['db_debug'] = TRUE; to $db['default']['db_debug'] = FALSE;
and
change $db['default']['pconnect'] = TRUE; to $db['default']['pconnect'] = FALSE;
