Engine won't start

I usually drive my car daily, but a week ago i left it sitting in my driveway for two days without starting it. I went to start it on the third day and the car sounded like it wanted to start but it never did. The battery died and i thought it was that at first, but i charged it and tried it again, and no start. then i tried a different battery and it still wouldn't start. I also tried using starting fluid and it fired but it did not start, so its not a spark problem. anything else i can try so i can start it? or do i have to take it in?
