PHP Install Problem

If you are getting the following error using ADODB with PHP:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mssql_get_last_message() in C:...adodbdriversadodb-mssql.inc.php on line 496

Suggested Solution:

• Install MS SQL Server Client libraries on the machine that has the adodb
• Verify that the ntwdblib.dll file is in the ...system32 directory. If not, copy it there
• edit your ...apachephp.ini file and uncomment the line extension=php_mssql.dll
• Make sure that the php_mssql.dll is in the PHP Extensions folder.
• Stop and Restart Apache or IIS
