roopurt18 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I don't have a windows machine in front of me, but I recall setting the PATH variable by doing the following: 1. Right-click 'My Computer' and select properties. This opens a windows with tabs... 2. One of the tabs (forget which) will have a button labeled 'Environment' I think. 3. Clicking that button will open up a screen where you can set environment variables, one of which will be PATH. #2 and #3 might be iffy, but I know you configure the path somewhere in the screen that comes from 'My Computer' -> Properties. You might also try start -> run -> msconfig. There are various ways you can connect to MS SQL: a. PHP's mssql_*() functions. b. PDO c. ODBTP (Google it, also works wonders with FoxPro) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/114966-php-sql-serv2005/#findComment-591291 Share on other sites More sharing options...
emetib Posted July 17, 2008 Author Share Posted July 17, 2008 Thanks for that tip about environment variables :> I may have some questions so I'll let you know. Googelin it now that I have a clue! Didn't see any posts about making this PHP - MS SQL 2005 work and believe it is very useful information. Some of us are geeks and others are gurus! cheers, emebit Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/114966-php-sql-serv2005/#findComment-592198 Share on other sites More sharing options...
