(help)Call to undefined function mssql_connect()

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mssql_connect() in C:\xampp\htdocs\index.php on line 37

hello. i had downloaded Xampp because i kept getthing this error on wamp. so i install xampp and get this same error.
i am trying to connect to my sql 2005 database using php. the code is 100% correct.
i have enabled the sql extensions yet i still get this error.

this have been driving me crazy for days now.
someone had told me to download and install sqlsrv30.exe but this did not work either.
someone had also said to place ntwdblib.dll in the apache and php files but this also did not solve my problem.

if anyone can help me out i would greatly appreciate it.
im new to xampp so a step by step guide would be very helpful
thank you.

Hi rynokabbage,

The mssql extension is not implemented with the current version of XAMPP.
You can use sqlsrv instead like described in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=50125&p=193284&hilit=sqlsrv#p193284

But to get this working, you have to change your script sourcecode too, because the functions are named different. e.g.: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.s ... onnect.php

best wishes,
