Hi. I got this problem too. When I try connecting xampp (php version 5.2) with SQL SERVER EXPRESS 2008.
I have tried many solution such as changing tcp ip, pipe name, static and dynamic port as well as create a system dns, but i still cannot solve it.

Anyone could help me solve this problem, I would really appreciate.

Thanks.
