sqlsrv_connect

(No version information available, might only be in Git)

sqlsrv_connectOpens a connection to a Microsoft SQL Server database

Опис

sqlsrv_connect(string $serverName, array $connectionInfo = ?): resource

Opens a connection to a Microsoft SQL Server database. By default, the connection is attempted using Windows Authentication. To connect using SQL Server Authentication, include "UID" and "PWD" in the connection options array.

Параметри

serverName

The name of the server to which a connection is established. To connect to a specific instance, follow the server name with a backward slash and the instance name (e.g. serverName\sqlexpress).

connectionInfo

An associative array that specifies options for connecting to the server. If values for the UID and PWD keys are not specified, the connection will be attempted using Windows Authentication. For a complete list of supported keys, see » SQLSRV Connection Options.

Значення, що повертаються

A connection resource. If a connection cannot be successfully opened, false is returned.

Приклади

Приклад #1 Connect using Windows Authentication.

<?php
$serverName
= "serverName\\sqlexpress"; //serverName\instanceName

// Since UID and PWD are not specified in the $connectionInfo array,
// The connection will be attempted using Windows Authentication.
$connectionInfo = array( "Database"=>"dbName");
$conn = sqlsrv_connect( $serverName, $connectionInfo);

if(
$conn ) {
echo
"Connection established.<br />";
}else{
echo
"Connection could not be established.<br />";
die(
print_r( sqlsrv_errors(), true));
}
?>

Приклад #2 Connect by specifying a user name and password.

<?php
$serverName
= "serverName\\sqlexpress"; //serverName\instanceName
$connectionInfo = array( "Database"=>"dbName", "UID"=>"userName", "PWD"=>"password");
$conn = sqlsrv_connect( $serverName, $connectionInfo);

if(
$conn ) {
echo
"Connection established.<br />";
}else{
echo
"Connection could not be established.<br />";
die(
print_r( sqlsrv_errors(), true));
}
?>

Приклад #3 Connect on a specified port.

<?php
$serverName
= "serverName\\sqlexpress, 1542"; //serverName\instanceName, portNumber (default is 1433)
$connectionInfo = array( "Database"=>"dbName", "UID"=>"userName", "PWD"=>"password");
$conn = sqlsrv_connect( $serverName, $connectionInfo);

if(
$conn ) {
echo
"Connection established.<br />";
}else{
echo
"Connection could not be established.<br />";
die(
print_r( sqlsrv_errors(), true));
}
?>

Примітки

By default, the sqlsrv_connect() uses connection pooling to improve connection performance. To turn off connection pooling (i.e. force a new connection on each call), set the "ConnectionPooling" option in the $connectionOptions array to 0 (or false). For more information, see » SQLSRV Connection Pooling.

The SQLSRV extension does not have a dedicated function for changing which database is connected to. The target database is specified in the $connectionOptions array that is passed to sqlsrv_connect. To change the database on an open connection, execute the following query "USE dbName" (e.g. sqlsrv_query($conn, "USE dbName")).

As mentioned at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc296193.aspx the connection will convert some data into PHP data types. Of particular difference to other database functions in PHP is that dates will be output as objects instead of strings.

To make the sqlsrv_fetch_{array|object}() functions return dates/times/datetimes as strings instead, specify:
'ReturnDatesAsStrings' => true
in the $connectionInfo array.

For more info about this behaviour, see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee376928.aspx

You can use the connectionInfo parameter to specify connection encoding, e.g.:

<?php
$connectionInfo
= [
'CharacterSet' => 'UTF-8',
];
$conn = sqlsrv_connect($serverName, $connectionInfo);
?>

Beware though that only two options exist:
- SQLSRV_ENC_CHAR (constant) for ANSI, which is the default
- 'UTF-8' (string) for Unicode
