My first post, and of course a bit confusing situation for me here :) I work in a firm. We have about 40 computers connected to the server via VPN. On my computer I've installed apache server. But SQL server is on the actuall server, not on my computer. On the (IBM) server administrator manages Microsoft SQL 2003 Server. Now, I've tried all day, but still couldn'e make php connect to the Microsoft SQL 2003 Server from my computer. I have enabled mssql.dll or something like that on apache, administrator gave me privilegues to access SQL server, but it appears that i'm a dummie and still I can't make PHP work with it :) So, could anyone help a dummy ? :D
