ntwdblib.dll in xampp 1.7.7

FINAL EDIT: i found out php_mssql.dll is not longer supported by php 5.3+, for everybody who got the same problem, i suggest to use the php_sqlsrv_53_ts.dll with the sqlsrv reference of php.
the ntwdblib.dll isnt needed in that case anymore.

problem solved lol





initial post:

currently i want to learn using mssql via php to access my flyff db, so i just try it with xampp 1.7.7.

after enabling the php_mssql.dll module in the php.ini i found out there is a missing files in xampp\php\ext i already fixed (php_mssql.dll).

then it said it doesnt find the ntwdblib.dll by the microsoft server libraries, so i downloaded the newest ntwdblib.dll i could find (date build 2007-04-28, version 2000.80.194.0) and placed it into xampp\apache\bin.

however, i might dont get any error message on start now, but my apache (httpd.exe) crashes when i load any page that includes mssql_connect() (every other page works, tho), so whats going on? do i have to downgrade, do i need a newer ntwdblib.dll?

edit: 1.7.7 is VC9, does any VC9 ntwdblib.dll exists?

edit2: i even tried with xampp 1.7.3 that is VC6 compiled, same issue. >.<

it might be interesting it didnt work on xp (1.7.3, 1.7.7) or win7 (1.7.7), although i tried different ntwdblib.dll versions, like http://forum.ragezone.com/f722/share...apache-780553/

on more details it blames the php_mssql.dll, but it even didnt work on the pregiven php_mssql.dll @ 1.7.3.

Tech Zone is the right section for you.

Next time use Tech Zone, this is for FlyFF related questions.
