Remote Network Server Connection to an Index Server

[Just4Ever]

Hi,
I was reading a previous post about connecting to an Index Server from another computer. However, I'm having a problem connecting to my remote server due to it's name. It is called h01ny-nt2 and the problem is caused by the "-" symbol. It causes a syntax error and expected end-of-file. I can't use the IP address either because the dots in it conflict with the rest of the statement. Here is my code:

$link = oledb_open("Pro vider=MSIDXS; Data Source=OfficePr ocedures");
$server = 'h01ny-nt2';
$keyword = 'FORMSOF (INFLECTIONAL, '.$_REQUEST['Title'].')';
$sql = "SELECT filename, size, path

FROM $server.OfficeP rocedures..SCOP E()

WHERE CONTAINS(Conten ts, '$keyword')";

$res = oledb_query($sq l, $link);
while($row = oledb_fetch_ass oc($res))
{

var_dump($row);

}

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and attention.

In your code

FROM $server.OfficeProcedures..SCOPE()

Should it read

FROM $server.OfficeProcedures.SCOPE()

with a single dot or are you trying to call a Scope Resolution Operator the you would have

FROM $server.OfficeProcedures::SCOPE()

Hope this helps

Thanks for the suggestion but I still receive the error about the "-" symbol for my server name.

Does anyone know why it doesn't like a "-" symbol when trying to connect to a remote server?

And is there any way around this such as escaping it or something?

Thanks
