PHP 7.2

 

 

I am trying to create a logon page using PHP  create a database on my SQL 2014 server.

Installed the PHP SQL Server Drivers for PHP 7.2

<?php
// Server in the this format: <computer>\<instance name> or
// <server>,<port> when using a non default port number
$server = 'SQLC,1433';

// Connect to MSSQL
$link = mssql_connect($server, 'phpuser', 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxx');

if (!$link) {
    die('Something went wrong while connecting to MSSQL');
}
?>

I get an HTTP 500 internal server error cant get past this one

Any thing else I can provide to help us fix this let me know

 

Thank you

mssql_connect was removed from Php

http://php.net/manual/en/function.mssql-connect.php

PDO is how you will want to do it.

Thank you for the fast response

 

I saw that link yesterday and tried that code

 

<?php
// Server in the this format: <computer>\<instance name> or
// <server>,<port> when using a non default port number
$server = 'SQLC,1433';

// Connect to MSSQL
$link = mssql_connect($server, 'phpuser', 'xxxxxxxxxxx');

if (!$link) {
    die('Something went wrong while connecting to MSSQL');
}
?>

Named it testconnection.php

HTTP 500 Internal Server Error.

 

Any ideas?

Thakn you

Ok I see what you meant now.

I need to convert my mssql_connect to use PDO

I have not been able to find an example of the replacement for this?

 

you have a example of using PDO to connect to a SQL Server Database?
