Description:
------------
Hi,

with MSSQL 2005,Apache 2.2.11 and PHP 5.2.6 i get this error when i 
try to connect to the db

Changed database context to

The error raise up when I try to connect to the DB.

connections timeout are high

mssql.connect_timeout = 300
mssql.timeout = 300

It happen randomly, but more frequently when the site traffic si very 
high

Reproduce code:
---------------
$Maxtries=60;

$delayMin=50000;
$delayMax=100000;
$delay=rand($delayMin,$delayMax);
$log_filename="conn_failed.log";
$tries=1;

	$connDb = @mssql_connect($host, $user, $pwd));
	if ($connDb)
		mssql_select_db($db, $connDb);

while(!$connDb){
	
	if ($tries>=$Maxtries){
		//echo "Database failed to respond.";
		$fp = fopen($log_filename,"a+");
		fputs($fp, gmdate("M d Y H:i:s") . ": Errore Connessione \r\n");
		fclose($fp);
 		exit;
	}
	
	usleep($delay*$tries);
	$connDb = @mssql_connect($host, $user, $pwd));
	if ($connDb)
		mssql_select_db($db, $connDb);
	
	$tries++;
}

if ($tries>1){
		$fp = fopen($log_filename,"a+");
		fputs($fp, gmdate("M d Y H:i:s") . ":: Try:$tries :: ".$ServerName.":: ".mssql_get_last_message()." :: ". $pageName . "\r\n");
		fclose($fp);
}



Expected result:
----------------

chaging the script like this
if ($connDb)
    mssql_select_db($db, $connDb);
else
    $lastmsg=mssql_get_last_message()

and...

fputs($fp, gmdate("M d Y H:i:s") . ":: Try:$tries :: 
".$ServerName."::
".$lastmsg." :: ". $pageName . "\r\n");

i dont' get any mssql errors, but i get the same problem

Have you tried to change the severity with mssql_min_message_severity? Error 5701 (Changed database context to) is at severity 10.

If you can try it on linux/unix with 5.3, please try it. If not I would suggest to 
use sqlsrv (http://sqlsrvphp.codeplex.com/) instead on Windows (and php 5.3).

I had this problem using php 5.2.6 and php 5.3. This happen with me because the mssql timeout in php configuration. 

this problem has 2 solutions:
The right solution: Refactory your query because your query is taking too long time to respond to php. Case your query is fast, the problem can be the database. In my case was an alter index running and 2 jobs.

The fast solution: increase the variable mssql.timeout in php.ini. I increased to 300s and my error stop. But, this is not recommended, because the connections in your application server will increase, More people will be hang the response of the server.

Weel, hope this help
