How to select mssql schema by using php queries?

To select a MSSQL schema using PHP queries, you can use the following steps:

1. Connect to the MSSQL server using the sqlsrv_connect function. For example:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11

$serverName = "your_server_name";
$connectionOptions = array(
    "Database" => "your_database_name",
    "Uid" => "your_username",
    "PWD" => "your_password"
);

$conn = sqlsrv_connect($serverName, $connectionOptions);
if ($conn === false) {
    die(print_r(sqlsrv_errors(), true));
}

1. Create and execute a SELECT statement to retrieve the schema name(s) from the sys.schemas table. You can use the sqlsrv_query function to execute the query. For example:

1
2
3
4
5

$query = "SELECT name FROM sys.schemas";
$result = sqlsrv_query($conn, $query);
if ($result === false) {
    die(print_r(sqlsrv_errors(), true));
}

1. Loop through the result set to fetch the schema name(s). You can use the sqlsrv_fetch_array function to do this. For example:

1
2
3

while ($row = sqlsrv_fetch_array($result, SQLSRV_FETCH_ASSOC)) {
    echo $row['name'] . "<br>";
}

1. Close the database connection using the sqlsrv_close function. For example:

1

sqlsrv_close($conn);

Note: Make sure you have the SQLSRV extension installed and enabled in your PHP environment for the above code to work.
