Linking website to database

I have searched High and low and altho there are posts on fixing Apache issues i cannot find a way to setup in the first place. This sadly is where I lack and unfortunately a large part of getting a server public so any help advice pointing's to tutorials would be wholly appreciated.

What i need is to know
1)what programs i need to get my php(registration,pvprank, etc)linked to my database(MS SQL 2008)
2)anyway i need to change things when intallation is complete
3)Noob language as i have searched google and cocked up every attempt

THANK YOU in advance

you are asking a question this section of the forums is for releases. the other section the Shaiya Private Server is the section for questions.

Yeah, Phoenix is right. Release only in this section, Questions in the previous section.

As for your question, to link a website to the database, you need a programming language. ASP, ASP.NET, and PHP can all be used to create a website that connects to your database. PHP can use SQLServ, ODBC, or depending on the version, the native MSSQL Functions to connect to the database.

I posted quite a few ODBC scripts in the past, mainly the MSSQL based php scripts I found posted between here, and another site.

#Moved to the right section

The Development section is for releases only.

[GM]Tinkerbell i can tell you only one thing i talked to [ADM]Bedlam and explain him that you can't run scripts from from Linux platform use Windows hosting this is first problem whay scprits cant connect to your data base.

We are using a windows based host

We keep getting this error

You must have the php_mssql library for Apache installed and enabled to connect to an MSSQL database. Uncomment the line that says extension=php_mssql.dll in your php.ini (XAMPP/WAMP only). This requires a restart of the Apache service to take effect.

but everytime i download apache it still wont work

It will error each and everytime as you must manually uncoment the section in php.ini and manually download the php_mssql.dll as apache and php arenot factery downloaded with mssql conection

It seems the error was at our hosts end. Thank you all for your input. They have now rectified the situation
