I cannot connect to a SQL server database from my Mac. Here's my PHP code:
$db = &ADONewConnection('odbc_mssql');
$db->debug = true;
$myDSN="DRIVER={SQL Server Native Client 10.0};SERVER=XXX.XXX.XXX.XX;PORT=1433;UID=XXXX;PWD=XXXXX;DATABASE=XXXXX;";
$db->Connect($myDSN);
I've tried a whole bunch of different drivers (FreeTDS, SQL SERVER, SQL Server Native Client etc.) but I keep getting this error:
SQL error: [unixODBC][Driver Manager]Data source name not found, and no default driver specified, SQL state IM002
FYI, I've installed php5-mssql, freetds and unixODBC.
Thanks in advance for your help.
The error is trying to tell you that you do not have a "DRIVER={SQL Server Native Client 10.0};" on your machine.
This comes as no surprise since the SQL Server Native Client is only available on Windows.
What you need is a third party ODBC driver (or the like) such as the OpenLink Single-tier ODBC Driver for SQL Server

I am struggling to connect a remote database IBM DB2 with my PHP application on the local system using xampp.
I am able to connect the db with PgAdmin.
I have added the extensions in the php extension directory and also enabled the php extensions for db2 and odbc both.
I have provided the correct credentials.
This is the error I am getting while connecting.
odbc_connect(): SQL error: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified, SQL state IM002 in SQLConnect
, where as when i connect with php Db2 functions it gives the error function not defined. Please help me in resolving this error.
I am unable to figure out what i am doing wrong.
I'm trying to connect using a string:
odbc:Driver={SQL Server Native Client 11.0};Server=(localdb)\v11.0;Database=test;uid=sa;password=123321;
Result: SQLSTATE[28000] SQLDriverConnect: 18456 [Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 11.0][SQL Server]Login failed for user 'sa'.
When I try to connect using Windows ODBC Data Source Administrator the connection is successful.
What the problem might be in?
The network user 'sa' does not have permission to the Microsoft SQL Server.
The best way to provide network users access to Microsoft SQL Server is to create a Windows group (for example EGUSERS) and permit the Windows group Server Access at the Security Logins within Microsoft SQL Server.
Put all network users that need to have access to Microsoft SQL Server to the Windows group (EGUSERS).
Check if you have the right authentication mode set on the MSSQL Server:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188670.aspx
Also you have two ways to connect to MSSQL through PHP/PDO by using the PHP_PDO_ODBC extension which uses the ODBC driver given in the connectionstring or use PHP_PDO_SQLSRV_xx_TS or PHP_PDO_SQLSRV_xx_NTS extension which you can find here (only for 32bit PHP!) https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=20098 or use the unofficial 64bit here http://robsphp.blogspot.nl/2012/06/unofficial-microsoft-sql-server-driver.html
connection string when using PHP_PDO_SQLSRV_xx_(N)TS extension:
$hostname='127.0.0.1';
$dbname='test';
$username='user';
$password='pw';
$dbDB = new PDO("sqlsrv:Server=$hostname;Database=$dbname", $username, $password);
connection string when using PHP_PDO_ODBC extension:
//use any of these or check exact MSSQL ODBC drivername in "ODBC Data Source Administrator"
$mssqldriver = '{SQL Server}';
$mssqldriver = '{SQL Server Native Client 11.0}';
$mssqldriver = '{ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server}';
$hostname='127.0.0.1';
$dbname='test';
$username='user';
$password='pw';
$dbDB = new PDO("odbc:Driver=$mssqldriver;Server=$hostname;Database=$dbname", $username, $password);
When testing a simple query which returned 66 records using PHP_PDO_ODBC extension took ~500ms (for all three MSSQL ODBC drivers) but when using the 64bit(!) PHP_PDO_SQLSRV_TS it took ~5000ms. 10 times slower! Have not yet tried 32bit or the NTS variant.
My dev PC is Windows 7 SP1 using WAMPx64 PHP 5.5.12 and I used PHP_PDO_SQLSRV_55_TS
When I run apache (via xampp) as a standalone server not as a service (on Windows Server 2008)
with the following connection code everything works fine (username and password removed )
$server = "WMS";
$link = odbc_connect($server,'','');
if (!$link) {
die('Something went horribly wrong while connecting to MSSQL');
}else {echo('');}
If however I change apache to run as a service in Windows the connection breaks and I get the following error message
Warning: odbc_connect() [function.odbc-connect]: SQL error: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager]
Data source name not found and no default driver specified, SQL state IM002 in SQLConnect in
C:\xampp\htdocs\Dev\well.php on line 30
Something went wrong while connecting to MSSQL
Please read documentation: http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.odbc-connect.php
$server = "WMS"; suggests that you have ODBC alias/data source configured with that name. Error message clearly says that data source with such name (WMS) is not found. On Windows 7/Vista/XP/Server you can configure them at "Start -> Administrative Tools -> Data Sources (ODBC)" -- path can be different on older OS. In any case -- look for "Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator".
Instead of using alias, I would recommend (the way I always connect) to use full DSN name, e.g.
// Microsoft SQL Server using the SQL Native Client 10.0 ODBC Driver - allows connection to SQL 7, 2000, 2005 and 2008
$link = odbc_connect("Driver={SQL Server Native Client 10.0};Server=$server;Database=$database;", $user, $password);
In this case everything is part of the script and no external dependencies.
BTW -- instead of using ODBC Functions, I would recommend using PDO & driver specially for MS SQL Server: PDO_SQLSRV -- http://uk.php.net/manual/en/ref.pdo-sqlsrv.php (or Microsoft SQL Server Driver for PHP if you prefer old procedural style -- http://uk.php.net/manual/en/book.sqlsrv.php )
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.
I am trying to connect to SQL Server 2008 (not express) with PHP 5.2.9-2 on Windows XP sp2. I can connect to the remote SQL Server fine from SQL Server Management Studio from the same machine.
My first attempt was this:
$conn = new PDO("mssql:host={$host};dbname={$db}", $user, $pass);
Which gives this error:
PHP Fatal error:
Uncaught exception 'PDOException' with message
'SQLSTATE[0100] Unable to connect: SQL Server is unavailable or does not exist.
Access denied. (severity 9)'
Second attempt (found on experts-exchange)
$conn = new PDO("odbc:Driver={SQL Server Native Client 10.0};Server={$host};Database={$db};Uid={$user};Pwd={$pass}",
$user, $pass);
This works, but I can't use PDO::lastInsertId(), which I would like to be able to:
Driver does not support this function: driver does not support lastInsertId()
Do you have any suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
i'm pretty sure that pdo with the mssql data server type requires dblib to connect. do you have dblib installed on the machine? make sure you can find ntwdblib.dll somewhere in the path on your system. i know this doesn't jive with the error message you're getting, but i'm not sure i trust the error message.
I updated ntwdblib.dll as suggested here and it now works.
Unfortunately I still can't use PDO::lastInsertId() because apparently this driver does not support it either, so it wasn't really worth the hassle. I can however use the equivalent SELECT ##IDENTITY as Id.
That you cannot use SQL Server authentication because only Windows authentication is permitted.
Check if the server is running Mixed mode authentication.
Also check if this SO question helps you.
