<?php
// Connect to MSSQL and select the database
$link = mssql_connect('MANGO\SQLEXPRESS', 'sa', 'phpfi');
mssql_select_db('php', $link);
// Query to execute
$query = mssql_query('SELECT [id], [quote] FROM [quotes] WHERE [id] = \'42\'', $link);
// Did the query fail?
if (!$query) {
die('MSSQL error: ' . mssql_get_last_message());
}
// Fetch the row
$row = mssql_fetch_row($query);
// Print the 'quote'
echo 'Quote #' . $row[0] . ': "' . $row[1] . '"';
?>
The above example will output
something similar to:
Quote #42: "The answer to everything..."
