PHP forum with MS SQL Server

[aspx]

Hi!
I know many MySQL-Php-Forums, but are there any using Php/MSSQLServer?
P.S.
It's easy to replace mysql-functions with mssql - but if there is already good MSSQL-forum why to waste time...

Because the LAMP setup is so popular (linux apache mysql php), not very applications are written for mssql.

I use mssql and the differences are quite large.

You could possibly convert a mysql to mssql, though its more than just s/mysql/mssql/g. --BB

I would recommend using ADODB to avoid this problem. ADODB is basically an abstracted layer that allows you to use the same set of instructions to work with your database no matter which database you use. It is also free, easy to use and it's pretty popular.

In other words, if you use ADODB for your application and decide to switch database. The only thing you would have to do is just change the parameter name of the database name and your done.

Here's the link:

ADODB stands in no comparison to the standard PHP mssql_* calls, ADODB is slow and bulky, mssql_* is fast and slick. Avoid ADO at all costs! --BB

I agree with you 100% that ADO is bulky and slow. But ADODB is something unrelated to ADO. Its a different product

ADO slow (mmmmmmm interesting !).
Have a look at phpbb I'm sure you can use many db's, I tried it with access I recall
