By the way, in the freetds.conf file, the:
[FBC_DEV_106]
or the:
[FEDBAR]
entry needs to go on a separate line after:
"# PeopleSoft FIN88QA database (Microsoft SQL Server 2000
configuration)".
The email list keeps putting the [FBC_DEV_106] and [FEDBAR] entries on
the same line as the comment. Quirky formatting. Anything on a line with
the # is a comment.

It looks like you are trying to use two different names for the
database. If you make this entry into the freetds.conf file:
# PeopleSoft FIN88QA database (Microsoft SQL Server 2000 configuration)
[FBC_DEV_106]
host = 192.168.100.5
port = 1433
tds version = 8.0
then your PHP code should look like this:
$conn = mssql_connect('FBC_DEV_106','username','password');
if ($conn) {
mssql_select_db("FBC_DEV_106");
On the other hand, if you make this entry into the freetds.conf file:
# PeopleSoft FIN88QA database (Microsoft SQL Server 2000 configuration)
[FEDBAR]
host = 192.168.100.5
port = 1433
tds version = 8.0
then your PHP code should look like this:
$conn = mssql_connect('FEDBAR','username','password');
if ($conn) {
mssql_select_db("FEDBAR");
Please try making those changes and see if it works. In terms of log
files, I don't know whether freetds generates log files or where they
would be kept.

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

Re: [WEB400] PHP and microsoft sql server
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.

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?
