PHP to display T-SQL statement using sqlsrv_query

Question

Just wondering if there is anyone that can help me understand why my code is not outputting data. I have created a T-SQL query in Microsoft SQL Server 2008. The query works fine and displays all the correct data in SQL management studio. Below is how the data looks in SQL Server Management studio:

block sequence|number of ties|percent_of_q4|number of q3 ties|percent of q3 ties| quality
0 1108  11.34296 37  3.33935 1
1 1094  31.11517  66 6.032907  1
2 1109  21.633 53  4.77908 1

When I try to output the data in a simple PHP script using exactly the same query, no data is shown.

Does this happen because the sqlsrv_query does not like my query? Does sqlsrv_fetch_array not like the "IS NOT NULL"in my query? I've completely run out of ideas on what to try... Can anyone provide any advice for why this fairly simple script doesn't seem to be working? Any reply would be greatly appreciated!

If anything is unclear, please let me know.

Cheers, Neil

The PHP script is below:

        /*data base connection */



        $serverName = ".\SQLEXPRESS";

        $connectionOptions = array("Database"=>"V6_HOLLTS479_20101015_subset",

         "UID"=>"username",

         "PWD" => "password");



        /* Connect using Windows Authentication */       

        $conn = sqlsrv_connect($serverName, $connectionOptions);



        /* Check whether connnection is established */

        if($conn === false)

        {

            die(print_r(sqlsrv_errors(), true));

        }



        /* SQL query */

I had a similar issue, I tried all sorts and then went right back to basics. If you try

$query=sqlsrv_query($conn, $tsql);
$result=sqlsrv_fetch_array($query);
print_r($result); 

Should do the trick
