MSSQL 2005 + PHP5 & XP

Hi guys has anybody had any suscess with the titled setup?

For 3 weeks now i have been trying to get the PHP info file to show me MSSQL.

I can get MSQL working or MySql but not MSSQL!

Anybody have any ideas? It just will not show up on the INfo file!

I have tried different PHP_MSSQL.dll files I have added then Enviormental variables but nothing works!

I have it working fine on Server 2003, but to reduce costs i need to get it going on XP going forward!

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance guys!

You could just use XAMPP unless you have to install it all manually.

thanks mate will give it a go.

Just been told i need to use IIS not Apache.. will try installing it then removing apache then adding IIS.

That should work?

Sorry I misread your post, I was in a rush

IIS should work fine. Apache (at least when I've used it) seems to support PHP better than IIS does but it should work if you set it up properly.

If you have IIS7+ you can try the Web Platform Installer to install it for you.

Thanks Buddy, Nah i have IIS6 - The Xampp App use MySQL not MSSQL as far as i can see, we tested it last night

Gutted.

Is there a reason why you need PHP and MSSQL? ASP.NET + MSSQL or PHP + MySQL generally go together.

Unsure of the specific reason but the system im migrating has always used IIS6, PHP5 and MSSQL

I prefer Apache/PHP5/MYSQL coming from linux enviorment.

But customer wants the above! pain in my ***!

Server 03 works perfect but XP just wont take it!

I can't even get Apache to start when I enable PHP_MSSQL, it just dumps an application exception into the event log. I even tried upgrading to the latest version of Apache and PHP 5.3 last night too
