I have also installed msde and created a database, and a table while going through Microsoft webmatrix exercises.
When I tried to change 'mysql' to 'mssql' in the php functions, I found that nothing worked. First, there was no function in php to create a database in mssql. (Is msde a mssql?).
When I made use of the db and tables made during webmatrix exercises, I found that it won't connect to mssql. Other error messages include that the variables for the query are invalid.
Please someone help. As I am quite new in php and didn't find any help in mssql.
