[php] How to use PHP to connect to sql server

I want to use PHP to connect to sql server database.

I installed xampp 1.7.0(php 5.2) and SQLSRV20. I've added the extensions in php.ini and I get this error:

Warning: mssql_connect() [function.mssql-connect]: Unable to connect to 
server: 10.85.80.229 in C:\xampp\htdocs\xampp\test.php on line 07

Code:

<?php
$myServer = "10.85.80.229";
$myUser = "root";
$myPass = "pass";
$myDB = "testdb";

$dbhandle = mssql_connect($myServer, $myUser, $myPass)
  or die("Couldn't connect to SQL Server on $myServer"); 
?>

What does this error message mean and how do I connect to SQL Server?

I've been having the same problem (well I hope the same). Anyways it turned out to be my version of ntwdblib.dll, which was out of date in my PHP folder.

http://dba.fyicenter.com/faq/sql_server_2/Finding_ntwdblib_dll_Version_2000_80_194_0.html

Try this one :

$servername = "10.85.80.229";
$username = "root";
$password = "pass";

// Create connection
$conn = mysqli_connect($servername, $username, $password);

// Check connection
if (!$conn) {
die("Connection failed: " . mysqli_connect_error());
}
echo "Connected successfully";

MS SQL connect to php

1. Install the drive from microsoft link https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=20098

2. After install you will get some files. Store it in your system temp folder

3. Check your php version , thread or non thread , and window bit - 32 or 64 (Thread or non thread , this is get you by phpinfo() )

4. According to your system & xampp configration (php version and all ) copy 2 files (php_sqlsrv & php_pdo_sqlsrv) to xampp/php/ext folder .

5. Add to php.ini file extension=php_sqlsrv_72_ts_x64 (php_sqlsrv_72_ts_x64.dll is your file which your copy in 4th step ) extension=php_pdo_sqlsrv_72_ts_x64 (php_pdo_sqlsrv_72_ts_x64.dll is your file which your copy in 4th step )

6. Next Php Code

   $serverName ="DESKTOP-me\MSSQLSERVER01"; (servername\instanceName)

   // Since UID and PWD are not specified in the $connectionInfo array, // The connection will be attempted using Windows Authentication.

   $connectionInfo = array("Database"=>"testdb","CharacterSet"=>"UTF-8");

   $conn = sqlsrv_connect( $serverName, $connectionInfo);

   if( $conn ) { //echo "Connection established.
   "; }else{ echo "Connection could not be established.
   "; die( print_r( sqlsrv_errors(), true)); }

   //$sql = "INSERT INTO dbo.master ('name') VALUES ('test')"; $sql = "SELECT * FROM dbo.master"; $stmt = sqlsrv_query( $conn, $sql );

   while( $row = sqlsrv_fetch_array( $stmt, SQLSRV_FETCH_ASSOC) ) { echo $row['id'].", ".$row['name']."
   "; }

   sqlsrv_free_stmt( $stmt);

 $server_name = "your server name";
 $database_name = "your database name";
 try
  {
   $conn = new PDO("sqlsrv:Server=$server_name;Database=$database_name;ConnectionPooling=0", "user_name", "password");
   $conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);

}
catch(PDOException $e)
{

    $e->getMessage();

}

1. first download below software https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679 - need to install

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=20098 - when you run this software . it will extract dll file. and paste two dll file(php_pdo_sqlsrv_55_ts.dll,extension=php_sqlsrv_55_ts.dll) this location C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.6.40\ext\ (pls make sure your current version)

2)edit php.ini file add below line extension=php_pdo_sqlsrv_55_ts.dll extension=php_sqlsrv_55_ts.dll

Please refer screenshort add dll in your php.ini file

For the following code you have to enable mssql in the php.ini as described at this link: http://www.php.net/manual/en/mssql.installation.php

$myServer = "10.85.80.229";
$myUser = "root";
$myPass = "pass";
$myDB = "testdb";

$conn = mssql_connect($myServer,$myUser,$myPass);
if (!$conn)
{ 
  die('Not connected : ' . mssql_get_last_message());
} 
$db_selected = mssql_select_db($myDB, $conn);
if (!$db_selected) 
{
  die ('Can\'t use db : ' . mssql_get_last_message());
} 

enable mssql in php.ini

;extension=php_mssql.dll

to

extension=php_mssql.dll

Try this code

$serverName = "serverName\sqlexpress"; //serverName\instanceName
$connectionInfo = array( "Database"=>"dbName", "UID"=>"userName", "PWD"=>"password");
$conn = sqlsrv_connect( $serverName, $connectionInfo);

Use localhost instead of your IP address.

e.g,

$myServer = "localhost";

And also double check your mysql username and password.

<?php  
$serverName = "ServerName"; 
$uid = "sqlusername";   
$pwd = "sqlpassword";  
$databaseName = "DBName"; 

$connectionInfo = array( "UID"=>$uid,                            
                         "PWD"=>$pwd,                            
                         "Database"=>$databaseName); 

/* Connect using SQL Server Authentication. */  
$conn = sqlsrv_connect( $serverName, $connectionInfo);  

$tsql = "SELECT id, FirstName, LastName, Email FROM tblContact";  

/* Execute the query. */  

$stmt = sqlsrv_query( $conn, $tsql);  

if ( $stmt )  
{  
     echo "Statement executed.<br>\n";  
}   
else   
{  
     echo "Error in statement execution.\n";  
     die( print_r( sqlsrv_errors(), true));  
}  

/* Iterate through the result set printing a row of data upon each iteration.*/  

while( $row = sqlsrv_fetch_array( $stmt, SQLSRV_FETCH_NUMERIC))  
{  
     echo "Col1: ".$row[0]."\n";  
     echo "Col2: ".$row[1]."\n";  
     echo "Col3: ".$row[2]."<br>\n";  
     echo "-----------------<br>\n";  
}  

/* Free statement and connection resources. */  
sqlsrv_free_stmt( $stmt);  
sqlsrv_close( $conn);  
?>

Try this to be able to catch the thrown exception:

$server_name = "your server name";
$database_name = "your database name";
try {
   $conn = new PDO("sqlsrv:Server=$server_name;Database=$database_name;ConnectionPooling=0", "user_name", "password");
   $conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
} catch(PDOException $e) {
    $e->getMessage();
}

$dbhandle = sqlsrv_connect($myServer, $myUser, $myPass)
  or die("Couldn't connect to SQL Server on $myServer"); 

Hope it help.

for further investigation: print out the mssql error message:

$dbhandle = mssql_connect($myServer, $myUser, $myPass) or die("Could not connect to database: ".mssql_get_last_message()); 

It is also important to specify the port: On MS SQL Server 2000, separate it with a comma:

$myServer = "10.85.80.229:1443";

or

$myServer = "10.85.80.229,1443";

if your using sqlsrv_connect you have to download and install MS sql driver for your php. download it here http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=20098 extract it to your php folder or ext in xampp folder then add this on the end of the line in your php.ini file

extension=php_pdo_sqlsrv_55_ts.dll
extension=php_sqlsrv_55_ts.dll

im using xampp version 5.5 so its name php_pdo_sqlsrv_55_ts.dll & php_sqlsrv_55_ts.dll

if you are using xampp version 5.5 dll files is not included in the link...hope it helps
