{SOLVED} How to access Sql Server using Apache on a windows machine?

[martinroldan]

Hello all, first I want to say that I have been developing in PHP using MySql, but now I want to do it using Sql Server, so I have downloaded and installed Sql Server Express 2005.
I have read a lot about how should make a connection, but still I cannot make it work. I am using PHP 5.0.4 and Apache 1.3.3 on windows XP SP2.
This is what I have tried to do:
[PHP]
$myServer = "localhost,1031";
$myUser = "sa";
$myPass = "e********";
$myDB = "Northwind";
$s = @mssql_connect($myServer, $myUser, $myPass)
or die("Unable to connect to SQL Server on $myServer");
[/PHP]
but it does not work, I always get the message about being Unable to connect to SQL Server on localhost,1031
The 1031 is the port that I have specified, I have made telnet localhost 1031 and it seems to work, but why is not my script working?
Thanks for any help

Hello, I want to reply myself to let you all know how I solved what was happening. I had to download the latest version of ntwdblib.dll, the version that comes with PHP is not the last one, and it does not work properly.
