I just started learning PHP and MySQL, and I got stuck when trying to connect to my database from a PHP block. I have installed XAMPP and SQL Server Express 2012 on my machine. My server name is RAFAL-MAC and I selected 'Windows Authentication.'
I have a simple HTML page with PHP code in a file called search.php
the PHP code is
<?php
$con = mysql_connect('RAFAL-MAC','RAFAL-MAC\Rafal','');
if (!$con)
{
die( 'Could not connect: ' . mysql_error() ) ;
}
mysql_select_db("one", $con) or die(mysql_error());
?>
When I go to localhost:8080/search.php I get the following warning:
Warning: mysql_connect(): Host 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server in C:\xampp\htdocs\search_submit.php on line 11
Could not connect: Host 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server
I tried searching similar problems online, but all of the threads are about remote connections. I am just trying to connect to my local SQL server.
Any hints? I apologize for any missing information. Thanks! :)
EDIT:
I changed the server name to 'localhost'
Now I am getting this:
Access denied for user ''#'localhost' to database 'one'
Since you'd like to connect to SQL Server Express 2012, all functions beginning with mysql* will fail - since these functions speak to MySQL servers.
Please install Microsoft's MS SQL Server driver pack found here. From this page:
Perform the following steps to download and install the Microsoft
Drivers for PHP for SQL Server:
Download SQLSRV30.EXE to a temporary directory
Run SQLSRV30.EXE
When prompted, enter the path to the PHP extensions directory
After extracting the files, read the Installation section of the SQLSRV30_Readme.htm file for next steps
People in Microsoft's PHP driver forum should easily be able to answer your question, in case you still have problems after the installation of the driver.
Additionally, if connecting to the local machine, try to use these addresses:
localhost
127.0.0.1
These two addresses always reference the local machine.

I've read many questions similar to this but none of the answers have been relevant to me. I'm trying to access a SQL server using PHP. Both the SQL server and PHP are running on my Windows 10 machine. Here is my PHP code (the username and password are arbitrary):
$connection = mysqli_connect('127.0.0.1', 'hmuuser', 'password');
This causes the following error:
PHP Warning: mysqli_connect(): (HY000/2002): No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
Here is my connection using MSSMS (which is successful):
EDIT:
I was able to solve my problem using this link: http://blog.citrix24.com/configure-sql-express-to-accept-remote-connections/
Using this link I enable SQL Browser, and set a static port to connect to SQL server with. However, I'm presented with a new error:
PHP Warning: mysqli_connect(): MySQL server has gone away in C:\HMUAPI\Index.php on line 7
PHP Warning: mysqli_connect(): Error while reading greeting packet. PID=9920 in C:\HMUAPI\Index.php on line 7
PHP Warning: mysqli_connect(): (HY000/2006): MySQL server has gone away in C:\HMUAPI\Index.php on line 7
My code has been changed to the following to cause this error: $connection = mysqli_connect('127.0.0.1:1434', 'hmuuser', 'password');
Add a database name
$connection = mysqli_connect('127.0.0.1', 'hmuuser', 'password','dbname');
Also here is suggest - Actively refused it" means that the host sent a reset instead of an ack when you tried to connect. It is therefore not a problem in your code. Either there is a firewall blocking the connection or the process that is hosting the service is not listening on that port. This may be because it is not running at all or because it is listening on a different port.
I guess the problem is, that you use MySQLi to connect to a MSSQL server.
You should use the correct MSSQL extension instead.
Microsoft published their SQL-Server for PHP driver on GitHub: https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql
Or you use the older extension which is documented in the PHP manual: http://de2.php.net/manual/en/book.mssql.php
And at least you can set up ODBC.
One of them should resolve your problem.
I am using php 5.3.1 to connect to my SQL SERVER 2000 on remote machine. I use Windows XP.
On using simple program like this:
$conn = mssql_connect("VBNET","sa","mypass") or die ( 'Can not connect to server' );
I get following error:
Warning: mssql_connect() [function.mssql-connect]: message: Login failed for user 'sa'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. (severity 14) in C:\wamp\www\Mssql\test.php on line 8
Warning: mssql_connect() [function.mssql-connect]: Unable to connect to server: VBNET in C:\wamp\www\Mssql\test.php on line 8
Can not connect to server
I enabled TCP/IP and named pipes in my SQL SERVER and restarted it. Also its Authentication is set to Mixed Mode Authentication.
I can see my server through MS SQL Server Management Studio. So what am I missing here ?
Thanks in advance.
P.S. I have another server in SQL SERVER 2008 to which I can easily connect with the same above mentioned connection string.
EDIT: According to this post, I fired sqlcmd -S np:\\VBNET\pipe\sql\query -U sa in cmd and entered the password and that worked !!! So now what could be the problem. I am at my wits end...please help !!
If you can connect using SSMS, then copy the connection exactly, i.e. make sure you specify a named instance (e.g. 'VBNET\SQLSERVER'). Open SSMS, on the server node on the left side right click and select 'Properties'.
If you have SQL 2008 running on the same machine it is most likely that SQL 2008 uses the default instance and SQL 2000 a named instance.
What also could help, i.e. make testing simpler is to create an empty UDL file (e.g. 'TEST.UDL'). An empty text file should do. Then double click on it, select the provider and play around with the settings. You can always test the connection using the 'Test connection' button. I use this trick when I have to connect from a customer PC for the first time.
I am having issues connecting to a mssql server that is located on a network machine. I need to connect remotely through another domain example (abc.com) not on the network to access data. This domain runs mysql if that makes any difference. I am trying to access the mssql server through this php script:
<?php
$server= 'ip address:port';
$user='user';
$password= 'pass';
$con = mssql_connect($server,$user,$password);
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect:' . mssql_get_last_message() );
}
else{ echo 'connected';
}
I run this script through the shell on abc.com and I get:
mssql_connect(): Unable to connect to server:
I have gone through several tutorials to enabling tcp/ip access through the sql server config manager as well as allowing the specific port through the firewall.
What are some other things I should try or steps I am missing here.
Also: the ip address I am using is the one I found in the sql server config manager-> protocols for SQLEXPRESS->tcp/ip_>ip addresses->IP2->ip adress it is the correct ip address? Where can I find it if not? I am not using the localhost 127.0.0.1
In short to successfully execute the cmd.
config:
(2 instances of SQL // SQL2005 + 2008 Express instance on the remote machine, which refuses to install Management Studio 2008.
1. Enable TCP/IP Protocol
2. Enable Named Piptes
3. started sqlcmd Utility with -s \SQLEXPRESS to get the right sever-instance
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn
4. Go to SMSS and local sql instance properties -> Connections -> check "Allow remote connections to this server" and run this script.
EXEC sys.sp_configure N'remote access', N'1'
GO
RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE

I've done a bit of research on this today, but nothing seems to address this issue. I recently upgraded to PHP 5.3.3 from 5.1.6, as well as upgraded MySQL to 5.5 from 5.0. Afterwards, the following code generates an error saying "Can't connect to mysql database":
$connection = mysql_pconnect($dbhost, $dbusername, $dbpassword);
if (!$connection) {
//Can't connect
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
return;
}
And get the following error:
Warning: mysql_pconnect(): Can't connect to MySQL server on '199.59.157.103' (13) in /var/www/html/ws/Cust/customerWS_1_1.php on line 19 Could not connect: Can't connect to MySQL server on '199.59.157.103' (13)
I am able to connect to the remote host via the command line, and have tried everything from resetting the password to shutting down IP Tables. I'm kind of at a loss - so any help would be appreciated.
We had a similar problem with the same error message "Can't connect to mysql database" and maybe the following points will be also usefull:
check mysql user privileges (in our case and with external connections we had the old server IP address (allow access) in the table) GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON tablename.* TO 'username'#'145.1.1.2';
-> reload privileges after changes (FLUSH PRIVILEGES;)
disable the SELinux parameter. In new Plesk versions (>10?) this would be set enabled automatically...
--> in /etc/selinux/config change the line that says:
SELINUX=enforcing to SELINUX=disabled
See further details: http://googolflex.com/?p=482
There is a PHP 5.3 mysql driver restriction related to old authentication scheme hash stored in the database by previous mysql server. This could cause a problem with stored passwords so the databases will be unaccessible with old passwords.
To solve the problem you should recreate the mysql users with the same login and same password.
When you say "I am able to connect to the remote host via the command line" do you mean, you are connecting to the MySQL server REMOTELY? Or that you are SSHing to your MySQL server and connecting to it from the MySQL server's command line? If the latter, it's possible that when you upgraded to MySQL 5.5 you accidentally stopped MySQL from binding / listening on a public IP. Check your my.cnf.
Otherwise: is your PHP code being run on the same server as your MySQL server? It's possible that your permissions could be off. MySQL permissions are very particular about connecting to the MySQL server via it's IP address if the client only has access to connect from 'localhost', and vice-versa.
First you should make sure that the connect parameters $dbhost, $dbusername and $dbpassword are correct. Assuming these are correct, you should check your mysql ini settings. I would assume that the bind-address is set to 127.0.0.1 or localhost, but not to a public IP address.
Also note that it's a security risk if you can connect to mysql from a public IP address. You may want to look into a solution that does not require such connection.
We are using MSSQL server 2008 on Win server 2008 R2 and have installed Apache (2.2.19) and PHP (5.2.17) separately. We have installd the MSSQL module for PHP and usingthe following connection string:
$myc = mssql_connect(Server, SiteDatabaseUsername, SiteDatabasePassword) or die('Can\'t connect to mssql Database Server: '.mssql_get_last_message($myc));
$db = mssql_select_db(SiteDatabaseName, $myc) or die('Can\'t find database: '.mssql_get_last_message($myc));
But it gives us this error:
Warning: mssql_connect() [function.mssql-connect]: Unable to connect to server: localhost\MSSQLSERVER in D:\Apache2.2\htdocs\adminarea\_core.php on line 89
Can't connect to mssql Database Server:
We have used the IP:PORT, localhost\MSSQLSERVER and COMPUTERNAME\MSSQLSERVER but don't seem to be getting anywhere, can anyone help please?
A few things come to mind:
1) Make sure you have the sqlsrv driver package from MS, and make sure you're loading it properly in php.ini (use phpinfo() to verify).
2) If this was a vanilla installation of SQL Server, its likely that only windows authentication is turned on. Open the SQL Enterprise Manager and make sure you have SQL Server Authentication enabled on your database.
3) Make sure that you have enabled network access to SQL Server. I'm not immediately certain whether the new MS drivers use named pipes to communicate with the server, or if they expect that the server will be accessed via the network.
These are the issues I routinely encounter when getting PHP speaking to a new MSSQL server.
