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 find out whether it is possible or not to connect to a remote Sybase server using the Sybase PHP extension and the function sybase_connect().
Actually, I cannot find any explicit answer to this question on the internet. I tried using the function like this:
$con = sybase_connect('ip:port','sa','password');
but I keep getting the error:
Warning: sybase_connect(): Sybase: Unable to connect in ...*
The server is reachable using a Sybase client such as Toad for Sybase for instance.
I am working with Windows 7 64bit and Wamp.
Would you please have any more details?
If you're using FreeTDS, I believe you need to add some settings to your freetds.conf file (mine is in /usr/local/etc/):
[ServerName]
host = 1.2.3.4
port = 1433
tds version = 8.0
"ServerName" can be anything you'd like. You should then be able to connect to it using sybase_connect('ServerName','sa','password')
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 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.
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 )
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
