MSSQL functions not available
In the code shown below i am trying to print out if the mssql function exists or not because i cant seem to use php to connect to a database and it always traces "MSSQL functions not available". I have uncommented the line: extension=php_mssql.dll and restarted iis but still no luck.
Thx for help.

<?php
if (function_exists('mssql_fetch_row')) {
echo "MSSQL functions are available.<br />\n";
} else {
echo "MSSQL functions are not available.<br />\n";
}
?>

The php_mssql.dll file is there i just checked it
you need to have:
extension=php_mssql.dll in your php.ini file WITHOUT ';' before it.
extension=php_mssql.dll in your php.ini file WITHOUT ';' before it.
Sorry just noticed you had already done that.
Run <?php phpinfo(); ?> to see if 'php_mssql' shows there.

I ran it and i searched for php_mssql (even searched for mssql) but it doesnt show anywhere, whats this mean?
Just as extra info btw it is installed on the server in C:\PHP not in windows system32 and i am changing the ini in the php.ini in that directory but i dont think this should matter.

Excellent yep that is what it was, for some reason my extension path had changed and i didnt notice. Thanks for all the useful info.

My configuration path was wrong and the phpinfo(); was enough to determine how to fix it.
check the php extension directory for the php_mssql.dll file.
It should be there.
Hope this will help you.
