mSQL functions

Introduction

These functions allow you to access mSQL database servers. More information about mSQL can be found at » http://www.hughes.com.au/.

Requirements

Installation

In order to have these functions available, you must compile PHP with msql support by using the --with-msql[=DIR] option. DIR is the mSQL base install directory, defaults to /usr/local/Hughes.

Note to Win32 Users:

In order to enable this module on a Windows environment, you must copy msql.dll from the DLL folder of the PHP/Win32 binary package to the SYSTEM32 folder of your windows machine. (Ex: C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32 or C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32)

Runtime Configuration

The behaviour of these functions is affected by settings in php.ini.
