Berna,

Thanks for the comments! That’s great you were able to get the php.ini. You’re right, it is named differently in PHP 5.3. I’ve updated the tutorial to specify the different names also.

I recently know that the php.ini file in versions 5.3 or above, are called
“php.ini-production” and “php.ini-development”, so one of them need to be changed to php.ini or something like that, thanks for your help

Just want to mention that there is a newer version of the SQL Server Driver for PHP out (v2.0):
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=80e44913-24b4-4113-8807-caae6cf2ca05

Just swapping out the DLL for the new one and restarting the web server should be enough, or if you want to rewrite it using the PDO option, that’s available too. (I have not tried out PDO.)

I guess the route you choose depends on what you’re doing. I chose to separate the loop and save the results temporarily. Somehow I feel that opening up another connection just uses up more resource and memory. (I have no tests to back that case up.) If your application is public and will have many users, it might even hit that database connection limit quicker (whatever that limit may be). Mine’s an internal app, so I’m not really worried about it.

Yep, my IIS and SQL Server are two different servers. I’m sure that’s why it thinks I’m trying to log in as a null user.
