MSSQL DATABASE CONNECTION WITH PHP

Please i am trying to connect to an mssql database on a different machine. Below is my code but i just keep getting a blank page.

I dont know what the issue may be. i have installed php and the mssql drivers.

<?php

    $uid = "******";
    $pwd = "***$$****";
    $DB = "***********";
    $serverName = "192.***.**.***";
    $connectionInfo = array("UID" => $uid, "PWD" => $pwd, "Database"=> $DB, "ReturnDatesAsStrings" => true);
    $conn = sqlsrv_connect( $serverName, $connectionInfo);

if( $conn ) {
     echo "Connection established.<br />";
}else{

     echo "Connection could not be established.<br />";
     die( print_r( sqlsrv_errors(), true));
}

?>

Answer

I would suggest that you display the connection error using sqlsrv_errors().

Load the PHP drivers in php.ini file and restart the server.

extension=php_pdo_sqlsrv_54_ts.dll
extension=php_sqlsrv_54_ts.dll

Please see the following example:

<?php
   $serverName = "serverNamesqlexpress"; //serverNameinstanceName

   // Since UID and PWD are not specified in the $connectionInfo array,
   // The connection will be attempted using Windows Authentication.
   $connectionInfo = array( "Database"=>"dbName");
   $conn = sqlsrv_connect( $serverName, $connectionInfo);

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