PHP mysql_connect

I am trying to set up phplist on my web site. I keep getting a database connection error. I can successfully connect to db using asp.net code, as well as sql server manager. So I tested the code used to open database in a simple php page and get the following error

********************************
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Unknown MySQL server host 'tcp' (11004) in E:\web\thegwaac\lists\test2.php on line 2
Could not connect: Unknown MySQL server host 'tcp' (11004)
********************************

Here is code:

********************************
<?php
$link = mysql_connect('tcp:s01.Winhost.com', 'DB_XXXX_database_user', '*****');
if (!$link) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysql_close($link);

?>
********************************

 

s01.Winhost.com is not a MySQL server, it's an MS SQL server. We do not offer MySQL.

 

If you are looking to query a SQL database with PHP try looking at this KB article.
