ejaboneta Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Just a quick question. I've only worked with mysql but will soon be starting a mssql project. When programming in PHP, anything I should know that's different from mysql? I tried googling but I only got results on performance comparisons, advantages and disadvantages etc. Nothing on actually programming for them.

Brian Swan Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 On the off chance that you are running PHP on Windows, I'd suggest that you use the sqlsrv driver, available here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=80e44913-24b4-4113-8807-caae6cf2ca05. It is released and supported by Microsoft. This wiki entry might be a good resource for getting started: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/whitepaper-accessing-sql-server-databases-from-php.aspx. Please add to the article if you have helpful input. Hope that helps. -Brian Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/212885-mysql-vs-mssql/#findComment-1117762 Share on other sites More sharing options...
roopurt18 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 My coworker uses ODBTP for talking to MS SQL on both Windows and Linux. I've used ODBTP on Windows and unixODBC with FreeTDS on Linux to talk to MS SQL.
