Kelly - thanks for the advice. Unfortunately, I don't seem to be
connecting to the SQL server. Is there some log that I can look at that
would tell me what is going wrong. Below is the PHP script.

<html>
<head></head>
<body>
Here is some stuff
<table border = "1">
<tr><th>Column Name 1</th><th>Column Name 2</th><th>Column Name
3</th><th>Sequence</th><th>Desc</th></tr>
<?php
$conn = mssql_connect('FedBar','Sa','Fbc');
if ($conn) {
mssql_select_db("FBC_DEV_106");
$query = "SELECT * FROM MYTABLE"; }
?>
</table>
</body>
</html>



Here is the addition to the freetds file that I made (the rest of the file
is unchanged from how it was shipped)

# Fed Bar Microsoft SQL Server 2000 configuration
[FedBar]
192.168.100.5
port = 1433
tds version = 8.0

Yes. Open iSeries Navigator and go to this folder:

/usr/local/Zend/Core/etc

Look for the file named:

freetds.conf

Make a copy of the file for backup. Then open the file for editing (I
move it to my desktop and use NotePad). Scroll down to the bottom of the
file. You need to make an entry like this one:

# SQL Server database named MYDATA (Microsoft SQL Server 2000
configuration)
[MYDATA]
host = myserver.mydomain.com
port = 1433
tds version = 8.0

Look at the examples and be sure to use the format appropriate for your
version of SQL Server. Save the configuration file.

The PHP code looks something like this:

$conn = mssql_connect('MYDATA','username','password');
if ($conn) {
mssql_select_db("MYDATA");
$query = "SELECT * FROM MYTABLE";
$result = mssql_query($query);
$row = mssql_fetch_array($result);
<process $row as desired>
}

Hope this helps.
Kelly

Is there something special that needs to be done in order to have a PHP
script - running either on Zend or on a non-system i server - talk to
SQL
Server?
