Hi there,

Hope someone can help me with this.
I need to connect to a MS SQL database but my attemps fail once and again. 
This is the error message I get when try to connect:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mssql_connect() in 
/var/www/htdocs/DB_conn.php on line 8

The script is very simple:

<?php

$hostname = "10.0.0.206:1433"; 
$username = "sa"; 
$password = ""; 
$dbName   = "dbname_here"; 

$idLink = mssql_connect($hostname,$username,$password) or die("DATABASE 
FAILED TO RESPOND."); 
mssql_select_db($dbName) or die("Table unavailable"); 

?>

Now, this is the info I can provide:

1) PHP version 4.3.0-dev

2) phpinfo shows:
   './configure' 
   '--prefix=/usr/local' 
   '--enable-module=so' 
   '--with-mod_charset' 
   '--enable-sockets' 
   '--enable-memory-limit' 
   '--with-sybase=/usr/local/freetds' 

3) Of course, freetds is located at /usr/local/freetds and works properly. 
It was tested using tsql -H -p -U and it's ok.

4) I also tried adding #!/usr/local/bin/php to try it as a shell scripting 
thing and it WORKS! Which is very confusing.

5) php.ini shows:

[MSSQL]
; Allow or prevent persistent links.
mssql.allow_persistent = On

; Maximum number of persistent links.  -1 means no limit.
mssql.max_persistent = -1

; Maximum number of links (persistent+non persistent).  -1 means no limit.
mssql.max_links = -1

; Minimum error severity to display.
mssql.min_error_severity = 10

; Minimum message severity to display.
mssql.min_message_severity = 10

; Compatability mode with old versions of PHP 3.0.
mssql.compatability_mode = Off

; Valid range 0 - 2147483647.  Default = 4096.
;mssql.textlimit = 4096

; Valid range 0 - 2147483647.  Default = 4096.
;mssql.textsize = 4096

; Limits the number of records in each batch.  0 = all records in one batch.
;mssql.batchsize = 0

; Use NT authentication when connecting to the server
mssql.secure_connection = Off

; Specify max number of processes. Default = 25
;mssql.max_procs = 25

I have no idea what the problem is; any help will be much appreciated.
