mssql_query — Send MS SQL query
mssql_query() sends a query to the currently active database on the server that's associated with the specified link identifier.
A SQL query.
A MS SQL link identifier, returned by mssql_connect() or mssql_pconnect().
If the link identifier isn't specified, the last opened link is assumed. If no link is open, the function tries to establish a link as if mssql_connect() was called, and use it.
The number of records to batch in the buffer.
Returns a MS SQL result resource on success, TRUE if no rows were returned, or FALSE on error.
Example #1 mssql_query() example
<?php
// Connect to MSSQL
$link = mssql_connect('KALLESPC\SQLEXPRESS', 'sa', 'phpfi');
if(!$link || !mssql_select_db('php', $link))
{
die('Unable to connect or select database!');
}
// Do a simple query, select the version of
// MSSQL and print it.
$version = mssql_query('SELECT @@VERSION');
$row = mssql_fetch_array($version);
echo $row[0];
// Clean up
mssql_free_result($version);
?>
Note: If the query returns multiple results then it is necessary to fetch all results by mssql_next_result() or free the results by mssql_free_result() before executing next query.
