Re: [PHP] MSSQL Support From: Frank M. Kromann (frank <email protected>)

Hi Jason

You can download and install FreeTDS (www.freetds.org). Then you can compule with the option --with-sybase=/usr/local/freetds. Thsi way you get the Sybase extension and this includes aliases for mssql_*.

Be aware the FreeTDS can be used with MSSQL server 4 and 6 and in some cases also for version 7 and 2000. These two has a bunch of new column types and features no accessable from DB-Library and FreeTDS.
