SQL Server Database Query with PHP - php

Question

I need to get some data from a Microsoft SQL Server database at work. When I have the data I need, I need to make an Excel spreadsheet that can be saved locally on my computer.
I found PHPExcel which seems to do the job on the Excel part, but what about getting the data from the Database?
I can't seem to find anything that's recent. Only old tutorials.

Answer 1

Use this way to Fetch the Records :
<?php
$hostname = "192.168.3.50";
$username = "sa";
$password = "123456";
$dbName = "yourdb";
MSSQL_CONNECT($hostname,$username,$password) or DIE("DATABASE FAILED TO RESPOND.");
mssql_select_db($dbName) or DIE("Database unavailable");
$query = "SELECT * FROM dbo.table";
$result = mssql_query( $query );
for ($i = 0; $i < mssql_num_rows( $result ); ++$i)
{
$line = mssql_fetch_row($result);
print( "$line[0] - $line[1]\n");
}
?>
This will fetch each rows from the Data Retrieve and Print on the Page. Use your Required format into that. I mean, Use html Table to show the data in well format.

Answer 2

Use this code to get an data from Database.
<?php
// Server in the this format: <computer>\<instance name> or
// <server>,<port> when using a non default port number
$server = '192.168.3.50';
// Connect to MSSQL
$link = mssql_connect($server, 'sa', 'sa');
if (!$link) {
die('Something went wrong while connecting to MSSQL');
}
else{
echo "connected ";
mssql_select_db('Matrix') or die("Wrong DATAbase");
//mssql_query("SELECT Seq_no from dbo.Trans_R WHERE Seq_no = 000001",$link) or die("cannot execute the query");
$query = mssql_query("SELECT Tr_Date,Tr_Time,Tr_Data from Matrix.dbo.Trans_R");
$f = mssql_fetch_array($query);
echo $f['Tr_Date'];
}
?>
