Codeigniter MSSQL connection




We can connect the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 rdbms to php with codeigniter framework.

For that we need to install sqlsrv driver on our server. 
SqlSrv is a php driver for MS SQL  and is available from Microsoft: ยป http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/sqlserver/ff657782.aspx.

For earlier version of php before 5.3, the Mssql driver was needed. The Mssql extension is not available anymore on Windows with PHP 5.3 or later.

After we have sqlsrv driver extension added on server, we can check it on our phpinfo page. The sqlsrv should be there. We may need to install the odbc driver too depending on our system configuration.
If there is a problem with connecting sql server database, we can debug to know the error.



Then we need to add the following configuration on our database configuration file.


$db['default'] = array(
'dsn' => '',
'hostname' => '.\sqlexpress',
'username' => '',
'password' => '',
'database' => 'dbname',
'dbdriver' => 'sqlsrv',
'dbprefix' => '',
'pconnect' => FALSE,
'db_debug' => TRUE,
'cache_on' => FALSE,
'cachedir' => '',
'char_set' => 'utf8',
'dbcollat' => 'utf8_general_ci',
'swap_pre' => '',
'encrypt' => FALSE,
'compress' => FALSE,
'stricton' => FALSE,
'failover' => array(),
'save_queries' => TRUE
);

Special Character (Zero-width joiner)

The zero-width joiner (ZWJ) is a non-printing character used in the computerized typesetting of some complex scripts such as the Arabic script or any Indic script. When placed between two characters that would otherwise not be connected, a ZWJ causes them to be printed in their connected forms. It means it doesnot take additional space. It is   &zwj; Useful when we need to output some html that don't need space. In some editors like tinymce, when we put the html that don't contain space then it will not save that html and will remove it from editor. For eg: <a href=".."></a> When we try to save the above html on tinymce editor, it will remove it from the content because it doen't have any character inside it. So, to overcome that problem we can use this special zero-width joiner character in between. It is a character that don't output extra space.  <a href="..">&zwj;</a> Happy coding!!!
