 Posted: Mon Apr 21, 2008 10:32 pm Post subject: Help with DSN connection string |
 |
|
Hello,
I have the following issue:
I installed Microsoft SQL server Express and I have Windows Authentication as the authentication of the server.
Also I downloaded the Northwind database. I can open the database with the SQL server Management studio and execute queries against it.
From my PHP code I am trying to connect to the database. Here is my PHP function:
| Code: |
<?php
function test()
{
require_once "PEAR.php";
require_once 'DB.php';
$options = array
(
'debug' => 2,
'portability' => DB_PORTABILITY_ALL,
);
$dsn = array(
'phptype' => 'mssql',
'username' => 'suzi167',
'password' => '1234',
'hostspec' => 'localhost',
'database' => 'NORTHWIND',
);
$db =& DB::connect($dsn, $options);
if (PEAR::isError($db))
{
die($db->getMessage());
}
$db->disconnect();
}
?>
|
When I run the code I see that it tries to connect to the database but ultimately I get the message:
DB Error: connect failed
Can you please give me any suggestions as to what am I doing wrong.
I tried installing SQL server with SQL server authentication but the only option I get during installation is Mixed Authentication or Windows Authentication....could the problem be the fact that I am using Windows Authentication?
Thanks in advance

| $db->getDebugInfo() in addition to $db->getMessage() in the die() call should give you more details about why the connecting has failed. |

Thanks for the reply.
I changed my database from Microsoft SQL Server to be SQLite and all my problems went away.
