I am running php 4.0.6 on IIS 5 on a windows 2000 server
My database runs ms sql 2000 on a windows 2000 server seperate machine from the web server.

my dns is set so that my database machine is named labdb and its ip address in 192.168.0.63

when I execute
function ConnectToDatabase()
{
	$dbname   = "is5sql";
	$dbserver = "labdb";

	if(!mssql_connect($dbserver, "interscale", "")){
		return FALSE;
	}
	
	if(!mssql_select_db($dbname)){
		return FALSE;
	}

	return TRUE;
}
I get an error that I cannot connect to the database.

when i execute:
function ConnectToDatabase()
{
	$dbname   = "is5sql";
	$dbserver = "192.168.0.63";

	if(!mssql_connect($dbserver, "interscale", "")){
		return FALSE;
	}
	
	if(!mssql_select_db($dbname)){
		return FALSE;
	}

	return TRUE;
}
this connects to the database and returns true.
I can connect to the database server with the dns name if i use ADO, but not if i use the php_mssql.dll.

can this be fixed?

Are you sure that your DNS is configure properly?
Try to ping to labdb (just enter "ping labdb" (without the quotes) in a dos-prompt). 
It's likely to be a problem with your DNS-setup.

I can ping it just fine.

C:\WINDOWS>ping labdb

I can connect to the database using Visual Basic Apps, with either the name or the IP address, it is just the php that cant seem to resolve the name when connecting to the database.

Thank you for taking the time to report a problem with PHP.
Unfortunately your version of PHP is too old -- the problem
might already be fixed. Please download a new PHP
version from http://www.php.net/downloads.php

If you are able to reproduce the bug with one of the latest
versions of PHP, please change the PHP version on this bug report
to the version you tested and change the status back to "Open".
Again, thank you for your continued support of PHP.
