Hi,
I have to connect sometimes to MSSQL and sometimes to MySql depending on the customer. I am experimenting with the php adodb library that claims to make database connection possible to either vendor using the same syntax.
First the background at home I have:
Rig1:
windows XP professional
PHP 5.0.4, IIS 5.1, MSSQL Server 2000 developer edition
Rig2:
Windows XP home
PHP 5.1.1, Apache 2.2.0, MySql 5.0.18-nt
So far if I connect and execute a query on Rig1 using two php files like this it works.
cls_gen_db.conf.php
class_generator.php
In theory to run a similar query on the MySql on Rig2 (it has same database name and user name setup) all I have to change is these two lines:
And this line in the other file:
But I get a blank page, no PHP errors ? if I copy the PHP files over to Rig2 and browse them via Apache web server locally it all works, but If PHP on Rig1 tries to query mysql on Rig2, I get nothing, not even an error. If I view source i see <html><body> but nothing else.
I am lost to know what the problem is (The SP2 firewall on Rig2 is configured to allow incoming TCP/IP on port 3306 from any other host on my home LAN)
What gives?
