Hello all,
It has been alot of tries so far to connect PHP -> MSSQL with unicode support.
I have website working on LAMP, and needed to fetch data from SQL server 2005. First I was trying to get a direct way to connect to MSSQL database from PHP easily to get my data. However I kept getting Question Marks because the stored data is Arabic data stored in Chinese charset. I could have went far more with encoding / conversion but It needs drivers to be installed on server and re-config some issues, which is not available now.
I decided i should go creating C# file to fetch data from Database, and connect to a web-service, that’s it. and i got few questions :
I’m not familiar with C# so :
1- Does .CS file needs to be compiled somehow ? or I just can edit by Notepad++ and it’s ready ?
2- i got 3 main problems, 1- I will still have to dig into how to connect a db, 2- and dig into how to get correct data returned, 3- how to do that using webservice in C# and return set of data using xml.
well seems complicated for me, already feeling disappointed :sick:
anyone would like to help please advise,
[B]- C# file reading correct data from " Chinese_Taiwan_Stroke_CI_AS " charset database, and put into web-service response ( i already have the WSDL file )
and how to run it. ( I already have other web-services working on IIS in dbserver )
please advise and hints
Thanks
