Got it! From the php manual http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.odbc-connect.php way down in the comments bit... $connection_string = 'DRIVER={SQL Server};SERVER=COMPUTER1;DATABASE=SampleASP'; $user = 'sa'; $pass = ''; $connection = odbc_connect( $connection_string, $user, $pass );

Unfortunately none of those helped as I'm using PHP not asp, but thanks anyway!

This works fine while trying to connect to sql server on localhost: $dsn="sqlserver"; $username="sa"; $password=""; $sqlconnect=odbc_connect($dsn,$username,$password); I have created a new sql server dns configuration on "COMPUTER1" (networked computer) with the same name "sqlserver" and I...

As always thanks for your help sleipnir214...

UPDATE - I was apparently wrong on this. you will get a browser redirect if you go to http://yoursite.com. You should do full URL http://www.yoursite.com to avoid 302 redirect error when trying remote http request. So for google (and anyone else): remote http error - do full URL

OK I was joking about the star - notice I haven't given myself one.... Debugging is something we ALL do when things don't go as we expect - yes? I have never used a remote http call before. The problem is that this procedure requires third party code, from my payment gateway AND it seems (like a...

Yes but I want the callback to work first, then I will re-write script to insert data. If the process doesn't work then there's no point in writing a script. I'm DEBUGGING first to iron out the problem. The problem is that the call back fails because there is too much data in the query string...

I think I've got this. The problem is because the $_GET query string was too long. I remember we use $_POST as we can take more data. $_GET is limited to 255 chars or something - I'm giving myself a star

That's the conclusion I have come to. I have sent off a ticket to them so I'll repost if I get a satisfactory answer in case anyone else has this problem... Thanks for your help!

ok sorry: <? $recipient ="webmaster@audiochess.com"; $subject = "new data1"; $from = "webmaster@audiochess.com"; $message="test"; $additional="test"; $sender = "webdesigner@audiochess.com"; $mailResult = mail ( $recipient, $subject...

The script at http://www.audiochess.com/icc_callback.php does this: $recipient ="webmaster@audiochess.com"; $subject = "new data1"; $from = "webmaster@audiochess.com"; $message="test"; $additional="test"; $sender = "webdesigner@audiochess.com"; $mailResult = mail (...

Yes, with a browser and my script works fine. But this needs to be done automatically hence the remote http call. I've done thing like: print($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."<br>"); To determine the page's real URL but from a browser this obviously doesn't help. Why am I being...

Well sort of. The callback is configured to go to: http:/www.audiochess.com/icc_callback.php AND append data (as $_GET data) to the URL which is then supposed to be able to be parsed and inserted into database to confirm purchase or whatever. That's what is supposed to occur, but, as you say I'm...

OK but the remote call is configured to go to http://www.audiochess.com/icc_callback.php but when it does it says the page isn't there and to go to http://www.audiochess.com/icc_callback.php (same page) This makes no sense surely?

OK thanks but I don't see where I'm supposed to be redirected to: Remote connect to audiochess.com/icc_callback.php returned the following: HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily Server: Zeus/4.3 Date: Thu, 23 Mar 2006 02:57:06 GMT Location...
