Can anyone enlighten me on how this can be done? Thanks

Hi, I am a java proffessional n will find it a pleasure teaching you how you can link ur application to ms sql server database, but not php.

Follow http://php.net/manual/en/book.mssql.php

<?php
// Server in the this format: <computer>\<instance name> or 
// <server>,<port> when using a non default port number
$server = 'KALLESPC\SQLEXPRESS';

// Connect to MSSQL
$link = mssql_connect($server, 'sa', 'phpfi');

if (!$link) {
    die('Something went wrong while connecting to MSSQL');
}
?>
