I'm having heavy issues trying to connect to my MSSQL 2012 Express database, with PHP5 running on an Apache.
I have as a test setup just installed a XAMPP with PHP 5.4.4 and Apache running on a Windows 7 machine.
My PHP code (phpmssql_genxml.php):
$connection = mssql_connect('192.168.40.150', $username, $password);
if (!$connection) { die('Not connected : ' . mssql_get_last_message());}
$db_selected = mssql_select_db($database, $connection);
if (!$db_selected) {
die ('Can\'t use db : ' . mssql_get_last_message());
}
$query = "SELECT * FROM Cust WHERE 1";
$result = mssql_query($query);
if (!$result) {
die('Invalid query: ' . mssql_get_last_message());
}
Output when trying to enter the site:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function mssql_connect() in C:\xampp\htdocs\phpmssql_genxml.php on line 13
Even if I try to hardcode the username and password into the string, I still get the same result.
Have search a lot on google, but havn't found that post that fixed my issue yet :/
Have enable TCP/IP for the DB instance pipe, even try'd to assign a specific TCP port for it. Have created a rule in the Win7 firewall allowing all traffic to the standard port 1433. Still no luck.
any1 have an idea?? What does the 'Fatal error' part means? Is it the Apache error, PHP or a Database error when trying to connect to it??
You are missing MSSQL driver from your PHP setup. Download it from here, assuming you have the required system configuration mentioned on the page.
Setting up, from their instructions:
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
I would also recommend using standard Apache + PHP installation, if you plan to work with MSSQL, instead of any *AMP package.
You don't need to use SQLSRV30 as this was not the solution that I needed though some may find it useful. I have a local dev environment running XAMPP + php5.5.9 + MSSQL2012 and I needed to use mssql functions because thats what we use at work on our servers. So I use freetds and "luckily" found this:
https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=232844
where one of the users already compiled the php_dblib.dll TS and NTS for my php version suffice to say I have everything working and using all the MSSQL functions that our dev team is used to. The extension for mssql support can always be compiled.

In first point. I am absolutely a noob in PHP and PEAR. For exercising I have worked with PHP, Pear and Mondial DB of Oracle offline, but now I wanted to connect to my Database on 1and1.com.
Following I have tried:
$dsn = 'mysql://dbo5235xxxxx#10.24.xxx/db5235xxxxx'; //Have it tried with password too and many other variations
$sql = "SELECT * FROM Vereine";
$db = MDB2_Util::connect($dsn);
If I upload this file on my webserver and when I try to call this page, I get an error.
Fehler beim Verbindungsaufbau mit [mysql://dbo5235xxxxx#10.24.xxx/db5235xxxxx] : MDB2 Error: not found
The error Message:
"Fehler beim Verbindungsaubau" is an own deinied Message in MDB2_Util.
If I try to connect with MDB2::connect, then the Message calls only:
MDB2 Error: not found
What can be the Error? Why it doesnt show the real Error or a helpful hint. Can I debug? If yes, how?
Best Regards Benny
This can occur even if you have installed an MDB2 driver, but PHP can't find or can't read it.
As a practical example, I experienced this problem on a system on which the UMASK value had been changed from 022 to 027. Even though the MDB2 driver had been installed (with root privileges), the user under whom php-fpm was running lacked access to the library's files.
this is something I've really been losing sleep over, so I'd be very thankful if anyone could help me.
So, I'm trying to set up a launcher for a game. I have a Login.php on my web server and the launcher in Visual Studio. When pressing "Start" it connects to Login.php where it checks if the game login credentials are correct, if they are, it should return a string of random letters (a token) to the Launcher. The Login.php tries to connect to my database in SQL Server 2008.
Now to the problem, I get
Fatal error: Call to undefined function mssql_connect() in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Login.php on line 12
when trying to go to the website manually (By entering 127.0.0.1/Login.php into the browser.). And when I try to run the program and press start, it returns a 500 Internal Error.
I have googled the mssql error and found out that the mssql functions have been removed from the newer versions of PHP, so I downloaded the drivers from Microsoft and enabled them in the PHP Manager on IIS 7.5.
The version of PHP I use is 5.4.25 and I enabled these drivers:
php_pdo_sqlsrv_54_nts.dll
php_sqlsrv_54_nts.dll
And here are the first 13 lines of the Login.php:
<?php
$conf['db_host'] = "GERA044\SQLEXPRESS";
$conf['db_user'] = "sa";
$conf['db_pass'] = "L4sfa445AdxDDLfor95";
$conf['db_name'] = "Account";
$user = sql_clean($_GET['Username']);
$passhash = sql_clean($_GET['Password']);
$con = mssql_connect($conf['db_host'],$conf['db_user'],$conf['db_pass']) or die('Database connect Fail.');
$db = mssql_select_db($conf['db_name'], $con) or die('Database Init Fail.');
In short: I still get an mssql error even though I have the drivers.
Hopefully someone can find a solution to the problem here,
Thank you!
php_sqlsrv_54_nts.dll is the SQLSRV extension, not the MSSQL one. You should use the sqlsrv_* family of functions instead of the mssql_* one.
I am developing an application that needs to get data from an outside MSSQL database. I spent a lot of time trying to get various methods of connection to MSSQL with PHP, but there were several routes which were depreciated.
On my production environment running Debian, I was able to make a connection with PDO_DLIB and FreeTDS with something like this:
$this->db = new \PDO('dblib:host='.$thedb_host_prod.';dbname='.$thedb_database_name_prod, $thedb_database_user, $thedb_database_pass);
On Windows, MSSQL is depreciated. I believe I'm using the Microsoft SQL Server Driver and was only able to get it to work with ODBC, which looks something like this:
$dsn = "Driver={SQL Server};Server=".$thedb_host_dev.";Database=".$thedb_database_name_dev;
$this->odbc = odbc_connect($dsn, $thedb_database_user, $thedb_database_pass);
Then, the problem becomes, in each method I need to do something differently for ODBC than I do for DLIB.
public function exampleMethod(){
// logic and create the query in $query
if($this->dev == false){
// PRODUCTION
try {
$stmt = $this->db->prepare($query);
$stmt->execute();
$result = $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_OBJ);
} catch (PDOException $e) {
echo 'Connection failed: ' . $e->getMessage();
}
} else {
// DEVELOPMENT
$query = $query;
$stmt = odbc_exec($this->odbc, ($query));
$result = array();
while($currentRow = odbc_fetch_object( $stmt )){
$jobNumber = $currentRow->Code; // Set object key to jobNumber
array_push($result, $currentRow);
}
}
}
This actually works, but the problem is, with how the query for ODBC needs to be prepared vs how the DBLIB query should be prepared, means that if I don't want to write the query twice in each method, I have to create it before each action. This is really bad because it means I'm not putting my variables into the query with PDO's bindValue.
So, has anyone been able to get PDO work with PHP 5.4 and MSSQL in a Windows environment? Does anyone see a way of securing the query in a way that doesn't make me duplicate the query in each method, once for ODBC and once for DBLIB?
My plan currently is to develop the application out and then remove all of the ODBC stuff which will allow me to put the query in the $stmt properly, avoiding this problem. But until then, it's making development a huge pain.
Oooook, so I finally got it working !
Here are the libraries / drivers for Sql-server connection via C/C++/java/PHP/etc.
Precisely, here are the Windows drivers for PHP.
Check out this page to know which version you need to get
They all exist in have 32 and x64, as well as "Thread safe" (ts) and "non-thread-safe" (nts) versions.
From what I read, nts versions are to be used if you work with IIS.
Usage :
Download and extract the package you need.
in my case, package 3.2, for php 5.6
Take necessary drivers
in my case, php_sqlsrv_56_ts.dll and php_pdo_sqlsrv_56_ts.dll
Put them in your php extensions directory
in my case, [...]\php5630vc11x86x170623162800\ext
If you wonder where this dir is inside your PHP, it should be quite easy to find, since you have plenty of other dlls here.
Likely, php_pdo_mysql.dll, php_pdo_pgsql.dll, etc.
Modify your php.ini
Be careful with Wamp, it seems to have one in the php directory AND another one in the apache dir.
Add lines to load the two extensions.
You can add them at the end of your file, or with the other extensions loading.
In my case, here's what I added :
;SQL-srever extensions
extension=php_sqlsrv_56_ts.dll
extension=php_pdo_sqlsrv_56_ts.dll
This part was for the PHP/PDO side.
For the driver to actualy work, you also need your (Windows) machine to have the ODBC drivers installed.
Feel free to try your connection already, but if it whines that you need the ODBC driver, go get it here :
Microsoft® ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server®
And last, but not least, be sure to use the right format for your PDO connection.
$conn = new PDO ("sqlsrv:Server=$srv_host;database=$srv_dbname";
For comparison, here's what I wsa using on my linux server :
$conn = new PDO ("dblib:host=$srv_host:$srv_port;dbname=$srv_dbname", "$srv_username", "$srv_password");
I thought this syntax was common to all PDO drivers, but it appears I was wrong.
Here is the PHP PDO driver documentation.
I just actually had to do some work in php connecting to a MSSQL server. I did have to downgrade to php 5.4 due to the fact that the php_pdo_sqlsrv.dll is not updated for 5.5. For the dll files check here. But now down to the code I used to connect once you have the .dll files in the right place.
try {
$db = new PDO("sqlsrv:Server={$host};Database={$database}", $userName, $password);
}catch(PDOException $e){
die("failed to connect");
}
Just a standard PDO connection. Just in order to get it to work you must make sure that the .dll files are in the php directory.
I hope that answers at least part of the question.
I have worked with PHP 5.4 and SQL Server with PDO on Windows.
I strongly recommend using Microsoft's Web Platform Installer to set everything up. You can use it to install PHP, a local version of SQL Server Express to develop on, the official PHP driver for SQL Server, and IIS, all set up to work together.
One note of caution: The last release of the SQL Server PDO driver was in April, 2012. I reported a bug against it last year and was told that it's in "limited support", which apparently translates to "you're on your own". In any case, it worked reasonably well.
I'm running a Linux Fedora 19 setup with Oracle 11g, PHP 5.5.4, Apache 2.4.6, and PEAR 1.9.4. In addition to this, I have the OCI8 plug-in for PHP downloaded and enabled, and have downloaded MDB2 and the MDB2_Driver_oci8.
The goal is to connect my webpage to the Oracle 11g database. This already works in an existing setup (which I didn't do), and I'm trying to replicate it in a new setup.
For some reason, in the new server, it doesn't work. It generates an error:
_doConnect: [Error message: unable to establish a connection]
** oci8 (oci8)://gbsihr:xxx#localhost:1521/
An error occurred while trying to connect to the database server.
Error message: MDB2 Error: connect failed
I truly have no idea what this means. This is my PHP connect function:
<?php
include_once('includes/configure.inc');
require_once 'MDB2.php';
function DB_connect($intSilent = -1){
$db_dsn = $_SESSION['DB_Type'] ."://";
$db_dsn .= $_SESSION['DB_Username'] .":";
$db_dsn .= $_SESSION['DB_UserPassword'] ."#";
$db_dsn .= $_SESSION['DB_Host'] .":";
$db_dsn .= $_SESSION['DBPort'] ."/?service=";
$db_dsn .= $_SESSION['DB_DbName'];
if (PEAR::isError($dbconnect)) {
print '<pre>';var_dump($intSilent);print '</pre>';
print '<pre>';var_dump($db_dsn);print '</pre>';
print '<pre>';print $dbconnect->getDebugInfo();print '</pre>';
echo "An error occurred while trying to connect to the database server.<br>\n";
echo "Error message: " . $dbconnect->getMessage() . "<br>\n";
echo "A more detailed error description: " . $dbconnect->getDebugInfo() . "<br>\n";
exit();
// Check whether the object is a connection or
if($_SESSION["gENDebugInfo"] == "On"){
$_SESSION["gErrorNote"] = $dbconnect->getDebugInfo();
}
if ($intSilent < 0) {
header("Location:" . $_SESSION["gENWebRoot"] . "showerror.php?ec=1003"); // Failed to connect
exit();
}
}else{
$dbconnect->setOption('portability', MDB2_PORTABILITY_ALL);
}
return $dbconnect;
}
?>
And this is the contents of configure.inc:
$_SESSION["gENWebRoot"] = '/hrweb/';
$_SESSION['DB_Type'] = 'oci8';
$_SESSION['DB_Host'] = 'localhost';
$_SESSION['DB_Username'] = 'gbsihr';
$_SESSION['DB_UserPassword'] = 'ids21';
$_SESSION["DBPort"] = '1521';
$_SESSION['DB_DbName'] = 'xe';
As this works on another setup, I'm not sure where the error lies. OCI8 seems to be in order, though I did go through hoops to get it working.
I did do some research, with only two vague results - one pointing to the oci8.php itself, and the other, an Oracle TNS error (unlikely, given the lack of errors).
Here are my attempts to solve the problem:
I tried copying the Basic Query Example from this website. I modified the "hr" and "welcome", and ran it on my new setup (it works fine on the older one). And this is the result:
oci_connect(): OCIEnvNlsCreate() failed. There is something wrong with
your system - please check that ORACLE_HOME and LD_LIBRARY_PATH are
set and point to the right directories. Error while trying to
retrieve text for error ORA01804
I've also tried opening the httpd file in /etc/sysconfig/ and adding the following line to it:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/u01/apps/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
And yet when I try to echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the CLI, it won't return anything. It does appear in phpinfo(), though:
This is in contrast to $ORACLE_HOME, which I have to load manually every start-up by typing in . /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/bin/oracle_env.sh in the CLI, and does not appear under environments, but at least, can be echo'd.
There are a lot of variables in the old setup under environment; LD_LIBRARY_PATH, ORACLE_HOME, and ORACLE_SID being the most noteworthy. I only see LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the envvars file, though. Should I add them as well to the httpd file?
I'm not much of a Linux-person, sorry. Any help on this would be much appreciated.
I suggest you try to connect to your oracle database by using the plain oci8 functions and the same login parameters as you use for MDB2.
My guess is that this will fail as well, but might give you more error details.
Can you connect to oracle outside of php?
I presume you have a valid tns.ora file set up.
I needed these two lines set in my VirtualHost definition, note TNS_ADMIN is defined also, perhaps you do too:
SetEnv ORACLE_HOME /opt/oracle/instantclient
SetEnv TNS_ADMIN /usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client/network/admin/network/admin**
Just add this line
$dbconnect = DB::connect($db_dsn);
to function DB_connect
like this
...
$dbconnect = DB::connect($db_dsn);
if (PEAR::isError($dbconnect)) { ...
I just finished to install Ingres on my server(only the client part, to connect to an existing ingres server), I just added the php_ingres module.
Now php recognize my module, so I tried to connect my self to several existing servers, but I always a
Unable to connect to database (Hostname here)
But with this I can't find what is wrong?? ingres error? Php driver? Credentials? ...?
What can I do to isolate these problem?
Most likely it's a user credentials issue. To see the actual error message use the following code:
$connection = ingres_connect(.....);
if (!is_resource($connection))
{
trigger_error(ingres_errno()." - ". ingres_error(),E_USER_ERROR);
}
You might also want to take a look at http://community.ingres.com/wiki/Ingres_with_Apache_on_Debian_Etch which outlines the setup steps for Ingres, PHP, Apache and Debian/Ubuntu.
