hi ...i have a problem connecting MSSQL 2005 express and php..

i've tried configuring the php.ini by removing the ; in extension=php_mssql.dll
but not working

i also place the php_mssql.dll on ext folder but not working again;

and also i tried downloading an old ntwdblib.dll and placing it in system32
but not working also :( can someone help me please...


heres my code btw;
----------------------
<?php

$uid = "";
$db = "";
$pwd = "";
$host = "XXX\SQLEXPRESS";

$conn = mssql_connect($host, $uid, $pwd) or die('Could not connect')
or die("Couldn't connect to SQL Server on $host");

$selected = mssql_select_db($db, $conn)
or die("Couldn't open database $db");

echo "MSSQL Connection successful";

?>

what u mean bro..? u've copy a php folder from a xampp on other pc (other pc which have installed xampp) and replace the php folder from ur xampp (ur pc xampp) ... ITS THAT IT?

and i dont know if it is true that mssql_connect function is not working anymore and replace it with sqlsrv?

yaa thats it.. but u cant replace the folder.. copy all the files from other pc xampp/php folder and paste it into your pc xampp/php folder. it will replace and add missing files.
