IIS Can't connect to remote database

I have a website on IIS and want to access a database on a remote host.

my code:

$this->db = new mysqli($hostname, $username, $password, $dbname);

I get this error:

Es konnte keine Verbindung hergestellt werden, da der Zielcomputer die Verbindung verweigerte

In english its like

Remote Host refused connection

Default Port is 3306, when I execute 

$this->db = new mysqli($hostname, $username, $password, $dbname, 3306);

I get the same result.

Via cmd telnet I can't connect to $hostname 3306, but to $hostname 1433.

So I tried

$this->db = new mysqli($hostname, $username, $password, $dbname, 1433);

But this isn't working either. I get

mysqli::__construct(): MySQL server has gone away

mysqli::__construct(): Error while reading greeting packet. PID=3276

Do you know how I can get the connection to the database?

Based on the info in your question, it looks like the remote database is SQL Server, not MySQL. Therefore you need to use PHP's MSSQL library: http://php.net/manual/en/book.mssql.php

It usually requires additional installation/configuration though.
