e_cabaret Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 I am having this problem as well. The shop I work for currently has a site written in ASP.NET with a MSSQL database. The developer who built the site didn't do a particularly good job, and I am investigating the possibility of using osCommerce to build a new site. Problem is the ISP who is hosting us only allows one database per account and thus my dilemma. If I could make osCommerce use my preexisting database, it would make me a very happy person indeed. I have seen a few posts about converting osCommerce to be MSSQL-friendly, but I am unsure what I would need to do to make that change. I am very new to PHP, so any help I could get would be appreciated.
nyfael Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 I've never seen PHP interact with MSSQL (not saying it doesn't), but the thing is ASP and MSSQL go hand in hand, as does PHP and MySQL. Reason is that both PHP and MySQL is kind of like the alternate, cheaper route to Microsoft's solutions of ASP and MSSQL. It goes even further than that, hosters usually will give you a Linux system for working with PHP and MySQL and give you Windows for ASP and MSSQL. I don't know if they support the change, but I don't think it's very likely.
