CI 3 won't connect to MSSQL 2012 database under php 5.6 on Rackspace - junosapien - 08-28-2015
Our site is on Rackspace cloud sites and is currently running fine with Codeigniter 3.0.0 on PHP 5.4.1.0 and connecting to a MSSQL 2012 database. Rackspace is in the process of upgrading PHP from 5.4.1.0 to 5.6.7-1 and has given testlinks for testing our websites in the new PHP environment. In this test environment, the site does not connect to the MSSQL database. However - no errors are thrown (that I can find, anyway!)
This is what I have for my database configuration:
PHP Code:
$db['default'] = array(
'dsn' => '',
'hostname' => 'mssqlXXXX.XXX',
'username' => 'USERNAME',
'password' => 'PASSWORD',
'database' => 'DATABASE NAME',
'dbdriver' => 'mssql',
'dbprefix' => '',
'pconnect' => FALSE,
'db_debug' => TRUE,
'cache_on' => FALSE,
'cachedir' => '',
'char_set' => 'utf8',
'dbcollat' => 'utf8_general_ci',
'swap_pre' => '',
'encrypt' => FALSE,
'compress' => FALSE,
'stricton' => FALSE,
'failover' => array(),
'save_queries' => TRUE
);
As a test, Rackspace also had me write a test controller. This works in Codeigniter:
PHP Code:
$username = "USERNAME";
$password = "PASSWORD";
$hostname = 'mssqlXXXX.XXX';
$dbname = "DATABASE";
//connection to the database
$dbcon = mssql_connect($hostname, $username, $password)or die("Unable to connect to MSSQL");
echo "Connected to MSSQL";
//select the database
mssql_select_db($dbname, $dbcon);
//SQL Select statement
$sqlselect = "SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES";
//Run the SQL query
$sqlquery = mssql_query($sqlselect);
//Output the query results
while ($result = mssql_fetch_array($sqlquery) )
{
echo "<br>";
print_r($result);
echo "<br>";
}
Any clues why the standard Codigniter database connection is not working?

It turns out that this was a Rackspace issue and it has been corrected. Problem solved.
