connect to Microsoft SQL database

[vionca]

Hi there everyone,

I'm a real newbie, I just started playing with PHP (after reading one WebMonkey tutorial). I needed to connect to an existing Microsoft SQL database named "REM." Could anyone help me do this?

assuming your platform is windows, the php.ini needs to be altered to uncomment the database modules for ms sql. Search for the DBs about half way down the file. Ensure that the path to the extentions is also added to the appropriate section.

then set a dsn for ms sql in the data source manager in the control panel under admin functions.
