Plus, the entire setup is a bit complicated and you need FreeTDS as well as UnixODBC installed, plus some /etc configuration magic. Why is UnixODBC necessary? I've been using PHP and FreeTDS to connect to a MS SQL 7 server for the past 2+ years and I've never touched UnixODBC. Is there something I'm missing by not using UnixODBC as well? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

== Quote from http://php.us.themoes.org/manual/en/ref.mssql.php: == To use the MSSQL extension on Unix/Linux, you first need to build and install the FreeTDS library.
