Query on connecting PHP to MS SQL Server
- Thread starter surovi99
- Start date
Unless you plan on running PHP command line, You would need some kind of webserver to serve up, and parse the PHP pages.
Other than that no.

Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.

You need neither Apache nor IIS.
A PHP script can connect to MSSQL when run under a standalone PHP interpreter. It's just that without a web server, you can't allow interaction between web clients and your scripts.
You may need an external communications library to connect to MSSQL, depending on the OS on which you are running PHP. For example, if you are running PHP on Linux, you will need either FreeTDS or Unified ODBC and the appropriate driver to connect to MSSQL.
