Is it possible for php to read from MsSQL?

Post by moleculo »

Hello all. The company I work for uses microsoft sharepoint server to store their databases (I believe this database system is referred to as MsSQL). Is it possible to establish a connection to this database using php?

If so, is it the same way as connecting to MySQL, or how is it different?

Also, anyone here familiar with sharepoint? If so, do you know how to figure out the DB_host and DB_name for my server?

I really would prefer to use MySQL and not use sharepoint, but the company is stuck on it.
