    Connection from php to mssql

    Good day!
    I have a problem in my connection in mssql to php. I tried my best to fix my problem. Here is some data I could give for better understanding.

    I used:

    SQL Server 2005 Express
    SQL Server Management Studio Express
    IIS 6.0
    php 5.2.4

    I do all the configuration that I know to work my connection from php to mssql like this:

    1. I put the php location in the system variable PATH.
    2. I download the ntwdblib.dll version that work in sql server 2005.
    3. I put the ntwdblib.dll in the system32, and php folder.
    3. I configure my php.ini
    I uncommented the ff:
    extension=php_mssql.dll
    extension_dir=".\ext"
    doc_root ="C:\Inetpub\wwwroot"
    cgi.force_redirect = 0
    mssql.secure_connection = On

    And this is my information in my SQL Server:

    Server Type: Database Engine
    Server name: ISM\SQLEXPRESS
    Authentication: Windows Authentication
    Username: MR\Administrator ----This username was hiding
    Password: ----Password was hiding


    I change also my php code:

    PHP Code:
    <?php
    //mssql.secure_connection = On
    //Need to uplaod ntwdblid.dll from net

    $myServer="ISM\SQLEXPRESS";
    //$connectionOptions=array("Database"=>"AdventureWorks");
    //$myUser = "MRM\Administrator";
    //$myPass = "xoxoxo";
    $myDB "dbtest";

    //Connect to the database
    $dbhandle mssql_connect($myServer) or die("Could not connect to SQL Server");

    //Select a database
    $selected mssql_select_db($myDB) or die("Could not open database");

    echo 
    "You are connected to the dbtest";
    ?>
    As you can see I commented the $myUser and $myPass, because I had read a forum that if the authentication is Windows Authentication, no need to used username and password to connect.

    After all this configuration still I can't connect to mssql
    Fatal error: Call to undefined function mssql_connect() in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\testconn.php on line 12

    It's almost 2 weeks I tried to solved this problem.I don't know what is missing or what is the possible solution in my problem..

    I don’t know what the problem is and what the configurations I need to do are.

    I hope somebody can suggest or help me to fix my problem, because I really need to fix it.

    Thank you in advance…

    You have to tell sql server it's windows authentication, look at samples in http://www.connectionstrings.com/sql-server-2005.

    My connection using Windows Auhtnetication is working now. My problem now is the connection to database, I try this code:
    PHP Code:
    $db "dbtest"
    $selected mssql_select_db($db) or die('MSSQL error' mssql_get_last_message()); 
    and the output is:
    MSSQL error.The server principal "[domain name]\IUSR_[Computer name]" is not able to access the databse "database name" under the current security context.

    Honestly, I don't have any idea about this error.
