mssql_connect
Open MS SQL server connection
Warning
This function was REMOVED in PHP 7.0.0.
Alternatives to this function include:
- PDO::__construct
- sqlsrv_connect
- odbc_connect
Description
resource mssql_connect
([ string $servername
[, string $username
[, string $password
[, bool $new_link = false
]]]] )
The link to the server will be closed as soon as the execution of
the script ends, unless it's closed earlier by explicitly calling
mssql_close.
Parameters
-
servername
-
The MS SQL server. It can also include a port number, e.g.
hostname:port (Linux), or
hostname,port (Windows).
-
username
-
The username.
-
password
-
The password.
-
new_link
-
If a second call is made to mssql_connect with the
same arguments, no new link will be established, but instead, the link
identifier of the already opened link will be returned. This parameter
modifies this behavior and makes mssql_connect
always open a new link, even if mssql_connect was
called before with the same parameters.
Return Values
Returns a MS SQL link identifier on success, or FALSE on error.
Examples
Example #1 mssql_connect example
<?php
// Server in the this format: <computer>\<instance name> or
// <server>,<port> when using a non default port number
$server = 'KALLESPC\SQLEXPRESS';
// Connect to MSSQL
$link = mssql_connect($server, 'sa', 'phpfi');
if (!$link) {
die('Something went wrong while connecting to MSSQL');
}
?>
