Connecting to MSSQL and Returning Rows
I am trying to connect to a SQL Database and just return all rows. My code is below:
<?php
$hostname = "server_Name";
$username = "user_name";
$password = "pass_word";
$dbName = "test";
MSSQL_CONNECT($hostname,$u
MSSQL_SELECT_DB($dbName);
$query = "select Name from alpha where Name = "Michael Cary"";
print $query;
$result = MSSQL_QUERY($query);
print $result;
//$number = MSSQL_NUM_ROWS($result);
//print $number;
//$i=0;
//if ($number == 0) : print "There is no data to display...";
// elseif ($number > 0) : print "Data:";
// while ($i < $number) : $name = mssql_result($result,$i,"D
// print $name; print "";
// $i++;
// endwhile;
//endif; ?>
<?php
$hostname = "server_Name";
$username = "user_name";
$password = "pass_word";
$dbName = "test";
MSSQL_CONNECT($hostname,$u
MSSQL_SELECT_DB($dbName);
$query = "select Name from alpha where Name = "Michael Cary"";
print $query;
$result = MSSQL_QUERY($query);
print $result;
//$number = MSSQL_NUM_ROWS($result);
//print $number;
//$i=0;
//if ($number == 0) : print "There is no data to display...";
// elseif ($number > 0) : print "Data:";
// while ($i < $number) : $name = mssql_result($result,$i,"D
// print $name; print "";
// $i++;
// endwhile;
//endif; ?>

<?php
$hostname = "server_Name";
$username = "user_name";
$password = "pass_word";
$dbName = "test";
MSSQL_CONNECT($hostname,$u
MSSQL_SELECT_DB($dbName) or die("Can not select database $dbName");
$query = "select Name from alpha where Name = "Michael Cary"";
print $query;
$result = MSSQL_QUERY($query) or die("Can not execute query $query. ") ;
/// print $result; //No need to print value of result.
while($row = mssql_fetch_array($result)
{
//mssql fetch array fetches one record in an array whose indices are name of the fields.
$name = $row['Name'] ; //so you here user name of your field as index, i.e. 'Name
print "Name is $name";
//also mssql_fetch_array advances pointer to next record , so this while loop would go through all the results !!
}
?>
Check out my comments.
Also see how I have used the die function.
Hope that solves your problem,

P.S. : Andriv, when dealing with mssql, you use mssql_fetch_array rather than mysql_fetch_array.
