mssql_bind($stmt, “@outParam”, $outParam, true) // you don’t specify the & for byref variables in PHP 5
$results = mssql_execute($stmt);
mssql_next_result($result); // this is cryptically explained in the note on doc page (http://php.net/manual/en/function.mssql-execute.php)

Since your post came up when I was searching to figure out output parameters here’s what you need to do:

Assuming we follow your mssql_bind, and if your stored procedure doesn’t return any results you specify:

mssql_bind($stmt, “@outParam”, $outParam, true) // you don’t specify the & for byref variables in PHP 5
mssql_execute($stmt, true); // the true means no results are returned
echo $outParam; // this should work now

If you do have a result set returned:

mssql_bind($stmt, “@outParam”, $outParam, true) // you don’t specify the & for byref variables in PHP 5
mssql_execute($stmt, true); // the true means no results are returned
mssql_next_result($result); // this is cryptically explained in the note on doc page (http://php.net/manual/en/function.mssql-execute.php)
echo $outParam; // this should work now

(to which I agree), I think you should at least use "their" instead of "there".
