FC3 and PHP_MSSQL
 

hello,

i have not fooled to much with this yet but i figured i would ask first. Does the installation of PHP on FC3 come with the PHP_MSSQL already installed? i heared that to do this you would have to recompile PHP with the appropriate modules. Or is it as easy as yum or apt-get?

thanks

You mean MySQL.
It depends on the installation you opted for. If it is not installed you can easily get it through yum or apt-get. I am almost always on slackware so can't give you much insight into this. One way to check it to if mysql is installed it to try and locate it

$ locate mysql

Secondly, if mysql is installed you can do this to see if PHP recognizes it...

create a file phpinfo.php

edit the file and put the following lines

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

and put this file in to your webserver root directory...open up your browser and point it to the file location...

Hope this helps...

no not mysql.

there is a function module that allows php to connect and execute quires to an Microsoft SQL database server under php.

Its not pre-installed with the windows manual install version. However on my FC3 web server i would like to be able to execute qureys and connect to my MSSQL database via php scripts.

Just a few of the commands it allows are

MSSQL_CONNECT
MSSQL_CLOSE
MSSQL_EXECUTE

to learn more of these you can always read up on them at

www.php.net and search for mssql for a full listing!!

Sorry...no idea about that
