Error: How to fix it?

[Rachel]

Hey,


Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Unknown MySQL server host 'SQL server' in /var/www/cam.php on line 2
Unable to connect

Is the problem in my code or connection in my office?


Any Help!

that is an invalid host name, a hostname can't have a space in it

Hey,

Actually I'm running the PHP code on my laptop, but the SQL server is in my office.

I guess can't use "localhost" as my host, but the SQL server name.

So I used the SQL server name ( Client ) instead of localhost, but I still get the error.

Now what's the problem?

[coopstah13]

you need to connect to the machine running the sql server, whatever that may be, it is impossible for that machine to be named "SQL server"

[Rachel]

Is it possible using IP address?

Suppose, if I have the DB on my laptop itself, will the "localhost" help.

The problem is it's a MS SQL db, but I had used My SQL quires, but once I fixed/replaced MySQL with MS SQL.

I get below error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function mssql_connect() in /var/www/cam.php on line 2

If it's to work with php.ini file, coz I knew location of php.ini file on windows. Since I'm newbie to Linux, I didn't know that.

How can I get rid of this error?
