OOOPS! posted this in the wrong place the first time

 

Warning: mssql_connect() [function.mssql-connect]: Unable to connect to server: LANDON\SQLEXPRESSLMKIII in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\trymssql.php on line 7

PHP 5.2.8

MS SQL server 2008  remote connection turned on

in php.ini      extension=php_mssql.dll

 

simple code:

<?php

// Server in the this format: <computer>\<instance name> or

// <server>,<port> when using a non default port number

$server = "LANDON\SQLEXPRESSLMKIII";

// $server = '(local)\V';

//$server = '.\SQLEXPRESSLMKIII';

$link = mssql_connect($server, "sa", "xoxoxoxo");

 

if(!$link)

{

    die('Something went wrong while connecting to MSSQL');

}

?>
