php cant define mssql_connect function

Question

I am trying to make a connection between PHP and a SQL server's database. I'm running XAMPP, and I deleted the ; from extension=php_mssql.dll to enable the PHP extension by modifying the php.ini file.

When I run my script, however, PHP throws an error that says the function mssql_connect() doesn't exist.

What can I do to fix this?

remember to run php_info() to test your php.ini file. Many times people edit the wrong php.ini — Jim

As a general approach:

In the php.ini is an option

display_startup_errors = Off

Set that to On and call PHP (maybe from console). It should tell you what went wrong then.
