Can Not Connect To Mssql With Php

Using mssql_connect($server, $user, $password) results in different ways the 'php server'

connects to the sql server.

On a workstation with WinXPProf, php uses the $user and $password to login and uses the

sql server authentication. Running the same script from a W2K3 server results in an error

because in this case the 'php server' tries to connect to the sql server using windows

authentication. (I have checked this difference with wireshark)

The problem has nothing to do with the sql server settings (mixed mode) / firewalls /

php.ini- file settings or versions of ntwdblib.dll because these are the same for both

connections. The problem looks more fundamental, probably due to settings in windows or

the iis version running on the server and the workstation.

Does anyone has a clue how to force php to use sql server authentication.
