Hi,
I have a site written in PHP with MS SQL Server 2000 as the db backend. When
the site was made there was no need for advanced banner rotation so a 10
line script was written and it served well for years but now there's a need
for a much more powerful banner rotation.
At first I thought to buy some banner management app but after some time I
realized that phpMyAdmin is the best thing.
The problem is PMA uses MySQL. I can install MySQL on my box but I would
like to avoid that if possible.
With a lot of enthusiasm I started to port PMA. After about 70 hours of
coding I gave up :-) I managed to port all the queries except the date
related ones. Unfortunately they make about 70% of all queries. The problem
is because the date function of SQL and MySQL are so different I would have
to literally understand every query I "port" and believe me there are just
too many queries :-))
It's obvious that it would be very ridiculous to ask advice of any sort
because this port is just a matter of sitting down rolling up the sleeves
and typing but can somebody give me any advice? :-)
Also if you know any good commercial PHP+MSSQL banner management please let
me know.
