When I try to run this script:
<?php
  mssql_connect('mssql.localserver', 'myuser', 'mypass') or die('Nope');
?>

I always get a warning saying that it was unable to connect to server, and the Nope message. I also tested with my mssql IP instead of the dns.

My web server: Apache 2.0 PHP Filter 4.2.3. WinXP Pro.
My MSSQL 2000 over Windows 2000 Advanced Server.

In the webserver I run the Query Analizer against my mssql and it works. The myuser user is a mssql's one.

Any ideas?
Lidiexy.

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

There could be two resons for this:

1) The server you are contacting could not be found. 'mssql.localserver' is not a valid server name. The server name can be a netbeui name, a tcp/ip address or host name or an alias configured with the client network utility.

2) The SQL server is configured to allow trusted connections only. You can either reconfigure the SQL server or use the php.ini option mssql.secure_connection = On. You will have to make sure the user running the Apache process is a trusted user.
