I have a linux server that I’m trying to use php adodb to connect to a MSSQL server.
include('adodb5/adodb.inc.php');
$conn =& ADONewConnection('odbc_mssql');
$dsn = "Driver={SQL Server};Server=MSSERVER;Database=Northwind;";
$conn->Connect($dsn,'sa','password')or die("Unable to connect to server");
I’ve install mssql through yum etc and I know the server can connect to it as I’ve tried the following:
$db = @mssql_connect("MSSERVER","sa","password") or die("Unable to connect to server");
mssql_select_db("Northwind");
// Do a simple query, select the version of
// MSSQL and print it.
$version = mssql_query('SELECT @@VERSION');
$row = mssql_fetch_array($version);
echo $row[0];
// Clean up
mssql_free_result($version);
Any ideas why my adodb wont connect, or any examples on how I can connect would be much appreciated.

I’ve solved this by looking at this forum: http://ourdatasolution.com/support/discussions.html?topic=4200.0
The correct code is:
<?php
include("adodb5/adodb.inc.php");
//create an instance of the ADO connection object
$conn =&ADONewConnection ('mssql');
//define connection string, specify database driver
$conn->Connect('xxx.xxx.x.xxx:1400', 'user', 'password', 'DbName');
//declare the SQL statement that will query the database
$query = "select * from table";
$rs = $conn->execute($query);
//execute the SQL statement and return records
$arr = $rs->GetArray();
print_r($arr);
?>
Hope that helps somebody else.
