I am trying to connect to the SQL Server and then to create a database table using PHP script. The code is as follows,[php]<job id="sqlserver1" >
<script language="PHPSc ript">
$connection = mssql_connect(' UIE-LAPTOP-01\SQLEXPRESS', 'pugalenthi' , 'Qwert1!');
mssql_select_db ('tempdb', $connection);
$sql = "CREATE TABLE Catalog(Catalog Id VARCHAR(25), Journal
VARCHAR(25), Publisher Varchar(25), Edition VARCHAR(25), Title
Varchar(45), Author Varchar(25))";
mssql_query($sq l);
</script>
</job>[/php]when i tried to run this script in a windows script host file, i got an error. The error was "call to undefined function mssql_connect() . Please help me.

You will have to talk to your ISP, because this fatal error will be returned when the mssql extension is not installed or configured.

It was me who had installed and configured the php. The SQL Server is also installed in the same computer. I am able to create an ODBC connection to sql server using php script.

The ODBC extension of PHP is not the same as the mssql extension of PHP! That is a separate, independent, extension.

At my own (via ISP) webserver I also have mysql and ODBC, but not the mssql!

Run the phpinfo() function at your server and see if the return screen shows mssql.[php]<?php
phpinfo();
?>[/php]Ronald

I ran the phpinfo() function and i got long page listing all but the mssql extensions.

I have two .ini files in the path C:\PHP namely php-activescript.in i and php.ini. One was configured during active script installation. Should i remove that .ini file ?.
