I am using the following PHP connection file to connect to my SQL Server database.
setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION); } catch (PDOException $pe) { die ("Could not connect to the database $dbname :" . $pe->getMessage()); } ?>
I keep getting this error which reads:
"SQLSTATE[28000]: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server][SQL Server] Login failed for user $username.
I have downloaded the latest versions of ODBC 17 and 18 which I hoped would resolve this issue but it does not. My SQL Server Authentication is also set to SQL Server and Windows Authentication.
If using laravel, in your .env file:
You can use it. Note that DB_CONNECTION=sqlsrv, DB_HOST must be in the format of "PC-name\SQL-server-name", and DB_PORT must be empty.
You can use it in a similar way as pure php code.
