I don't have php talking to mssql, but according to the comments on
www.php.net, this is supposed to work 


>From http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mssql-connect.php


Connect to MS SQL 7.0 on anothe computer over TCP/IP: 

I connect to MS SQL if set hostname and port only: 

$hostname = "localhost,port"; 

$username = "login"; 
$password = "password"; 
$dbName = "database"; 

MSSQL_CONNECT($hostname,$username,$password) 

WORK FINE!


YMMV,

Doon

I'm using PHP:

mssql_connect ("serverx","usersql","passwd") or die ("No... sorry\n")



serverx is defined in /etc/hosts (responds to pings, and telnet to 7433)

in interfaces I have:

serverx
        query tcp tds4.2 smalldog 7433


Again, telnet to 7433 works fine...

If I change it back (in the interface file to 1433 and change the port
on
the NT machine (MS SQL) back to 1433), it works just fine...

So the PHP function mssql_connect doesn't know that I want it to connect
to port 7433 instead of the deafult 1433... 

Any other ideas?


Thanks,

--Jan
