MSSQL，PHP连接问题，正在访问数据库

Question

I am trying to connect to a database for a client (I'm a student), the website is using drupal and connects to their live stock with a module called SPNET, the MSSQL connection details are as follows:

localhost,1433
database: techtech
username: tech1
password: EXAMPLEPASSWORD

that works fine, but now im trying to connect to the same database with PHP, as follows:

<?php
$host = "localhost:1433";
$userDB = "tech1";
$passwordDB = "EXAMPLEPASSWORD";

$database = "techtech";
$link = mssql_connect($host, $userDB, $passwordDB);

if (!$link) {
die('Something went wrong while connecting to MSSQL');
}
?>

I am given this error:

Warning: mssql_connect() [function.mssql-connect]: Unable to connect to server: localhost:1433

I am not sure how to fix this problem, this .php file is located on the same server as drupal is connecting.

Thanks for the help.

Since 1433 is the standard port for MSSQL, you don't have to specify it when connecting with mssql_connect() . If you want to specify a different port, you need to use this format:

 $host = "localhost,1433";
