Okay, so I just want to ask a quick question, this isnt a spam or flame thread.

SO I've begun working on my server again and I've run into a little problem, when I go to the Register page, I keep getting this error:

Warning: mssql_connect() [function.mssql-connect]: Unable to connect to server: DAVID-PC\SQLEXPRESS in C:\wamp\www\testestt\index.php on line 40
Cannot connect to database or server

I don't know how to fix it, my password and SQL Name or whatever is correct, I've checked countless times, and re-installed SQL Server Lots of times to make sure the password was right, but nothing seems to be working.... I'd appreciate any help. Thanks a ton :)

Again, this isn't a flame or spam thread so if you aren't going to help, then please don't comment, thanks again(:

wamp?

[ItzRemix]

Yeah
:P

download the newest ntwdblib.dll

[sora1212]

Open up wamp
Go to PHP>php extenstions.

The following must be checked: php_mssql, php_pdo_mssql.
Do it one at a time, let it restart.

Go back to PHP, but click on php.ini.
Find(ctrl + f): mssql

You should get: extension=php_mssql.dll
If there isn't any ; before extenstion, put a ; infront of it.
It should look like this:
;extension=php_mssql.dll

Save it.
Go to localhost/register.php .

Hope this helped.
