[PHP-INSTALL] 64 Bit IIS 6 ( 32 Bit mode ) + 32Bit php connect with MS-SQL Server

am 18.01.2010 13:14:25 von EdwardSPL

Dear All,

I had config the php.ini as the following :
extension=php_mssql.dll

Then run the cli "iisreset" and reboot the web server machine...
After that, there is NO any MS-SQL within the phpinfo()...
So, would you mind to help more ?

Thanks !

Edward.

1 - Can you confirm that the ini file you are editing is the one that
is reported in phpinfo() as the file being used?
2 - At a command prompt, change directory to your PHP installation and type ...

php -m

See if you have any errors being reported.

If the INI file is in an unusual location, then use ...

php -c -m

instead; e.g.

php -c D:\PHP\INI\php-cli.ini -m
php -c C:\windows\php-isapi.ini -m
etc.

It seems you are missing one (or more) of the MS Visual C Runtime files.

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=3D9 b2da534-3e03-43=
91-8a4d-074b9f2bc1bf&displaylang=3Den
is where I'd go next.

But, first, I'd confirm this issue.

If you have depends.exe (http://www.dependencywalker.com/) to open the
php_mssql.dll and see if it reports the missing file in the same way -
look at the bottom of the bottom panel.

Whilst PHP _can_ find the php_mssql.dll file, it is unable to load it
due to missing libraries required by the dll.

But having said all of that, the php_mssql.dll uses a very old library
which may give you issues.

For the time being, using ODBC (php_odbc is built in for PHP on
Windows) is a much safer solution. You can also use the latest SQL
Native Client driver so you can talk to SQL7, 2000, 2005, 2008.

If you are used to using a DNS-less connection, then ...

$Conn = odbc_pconnect("Driver={SQL Server Native Client
10.0};Server={$Server};Database={$Database};MARS_Connection= Yes;",
$User, $Password, SQL_CUR_USE_DRIVER);

will give you the connection without the need to have a DNS entry.

Hello to you,

Where can we download the SQL Native Client driver for talking to MS-SQL
( eg : 2000 ) ?

Either ODBC or the MS SQL driver for PHP. Which ever suits you.

Both require the MS SQL Native Client (go for the latest).

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Native Client
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Native Client (SQL Native Client) is a
single dynamic-link library (DLL) containing both the SQL OLE DB
provider and SQL ODBC driver. It contains run-time support for
applications using native-code APIs (ODBC, OLE DB and ADO) to connect
to Microsoft SQL Server 2000, 2005, or 2008. SQL Native Client should
be used to create new applications or enhance existing applications
that need to take advantage of new SQL Server 2008 features. This
redistributable installer for SQL Native Client installs the client
components needed during run time to take advantage of new SQL Server
2008 features, and optionally installs the header files needed to
develop an application that uses the SQL Native Client API.

provides a procedural interface for accessing data and makes use of
PHP features, including PHP streams to read and write large objects.
With this release, the source code for the driver is available here:
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=123842&clcid=0x409 . The SQL

As you are running IIS + PHP in 32bit mode, I'd stick with the x86 packages.

If you were running 64 bit everything, then obviously, you would use
the 64 bit packages.

But you are running IIS and PHP in 32bit mode, so, for ease of
compatibility, the 32bit packages (x86 rather than x64) are what I
would be using.

In terms of which one you want to use, well, you have to get the Native Client.

From there you can either use odbc (built into PHP for Windows) or use
the MS SQL Driver for PHP.

Both of them use the Native Client.

As the MS SQL driver is fairly new, you may want to stick with the
ODBC route within PHP.
