[Tutorial] Get your XAMPP work with MSSQL/PDOMSSQL Connections

[Korey]

Hi there, since i've been getting messages at ragezone about how to allow XAMP to work with MSSQL i'll post here a tutorial on how to do it.

1st. Download this version of xampp here :
Download XAMPP from SourceForge.net

2nd. Install xamp

3rd. Start the xamp control.

4th. Install the apache, do not start the apache yet.

5th. Go to your php.ini located at :

C:\xampp\php\php.ini

6th. Find short_open_tag till you see this :

Short_open_tag = Off

7th. Change it to :

Short_open_tag = On

8th. Find php_mssql.dll till you see this :

;extension=php_mssql.dll

9th. Change it to :

extension=php_mssql.dll

10th. If you are using PDO MSSQL find this :

;extension=php_pdo_mssql.dll

11th. Change it to :

extension=php_pdo_mssql.dll

12th. Start the apache.

13th. Go to your htdocs located at :

C:\xampp\htdocs

14th. Make a file called "test.php" ( without the " )

15th. Inside it put this :

<?php

if (function_exists('mssql_fetch_row')) {
echo "I guess it worked hum?.<br />\n";
} else {
echo "Nah, you need to uninstall the version of xampp you were using.\n";
}

?>

16th. Then save it.

17th. Go to yourip/test.php or localhost/test.php

18th. If it comes with "I guess it worked hum?" it means you have MSSQL enabled.

19th. If it comes with "Nah, you need to uninstall the version of xampp you were using" it means you did something wrong.


Dont come with annoying replys, i've done this to help some people that have been contacting me for release this tutorial.

P.S : if you want me to make a tutorial for WAMP MSSQL Connections, post it here.

All the best.
Korey.

XAMPP is gay, use AppServ 2.6.0

Rather not get gay people involved into a simple web server that is just completely stupid and unneeded.

You rather say that it isn't good for the servers rather then making such stupid reply like this

Just use IIS way better

Yeah, because that doesn't include the same software.

Oh wait, it does.

nginx is also a nice alternative.
People use it a lot as reverse proxy server but it's perfect for a "normal" HTTP server as well.

I'll quote what you said because i was about to say that.

All the best.

NGINX is indeed the best one you can find with IIS of course.
