Gerry,
you're right I'm using NT4 Server SP6a, but I do not use the IIS in this
case, it's Roxen.

That's it! PHP can be run as CGI or ISAPI Module on Win32. I choosed the
CGI version and due to this I can run it on the command line:
f:\www\Roxen1\cgi-bin> php -q test.php3
with test.php3: <?php mysql_connect("localhost:3306", "test", ""); ?>
Voila - no error message! So the Roxen configuration parameter
"Scripting->CGI->Run scripts as..." must be changed.

I knew that there was some trouble with different Winsock version on
Win9x. This is mentioned in the PHP Knowledge Base as well as in the
Mailinglist archive. But I was completely confused this would happen on
NT...

That's probably why.
You both have done a perfect support job! I'll do my part and take the
information to the PHP Mailinglist archive and Knowled Base.
Thanks!
