PHP MS SQL connection (Dreamweaver cs6)

[tutu saint]

I am having problems setting up a connection to a MS SQL server using PHP. I have tried to changes the string in the Connections folder to use mssql_connect, rather than mysql_connect and set the various parameters, but keep getting an error the the server does not exist.
I have edited the php.in file to use php_mssql.dll and for good measure, also copied the dll to the Windows directory.

I am using DW CS6 and any help with this will be appreciated.
Thanks

so, do you have a MSSQL server on your machine? PHP can only provide the functionality to connect to an existing one, but it does not create one out of nothing.
