Hi everyone!

I have running xampp fine using mysql as my DB, but now I have to implement my pages using MSSQL due to a integration with other software. how do I configure to make it work?
What files and what updates do I need?

I have XAMPP for windows Version 1.6.0a,
MS Windows XP sp2

Thanks,

Carlos

Apache and MySQL are separate, and don't directly interact. Switching to MSSQL requires 0 changes configuration changes to XAMPP.

Of course you need to rewrite your actual php programs to use MSSQL rather than MySQL.

The mysql php functions only work with mysql.

Thanks Codesmith, I know that I have to rewrite my code and my connection to mssql instead to mysql. Just I wanted to know if I have to configure anything else to put apache, php to work with mssql.

Thanks,

Carlos

Here's the PHP Manual page on MS SQL.

If there are any PHP.ini changes they would be detailed there.
