Re: [PHP-DB] Accessing MS SQL from Linux

2004-03-12 Thread Robert Twitty
Is the machine running SQL Server also hosted by the same company?  Is it
possible to use PHP on a Win32 machine so that you can use
the php_mssql.dll extension?

Re: [PHP-DB] Accessing MS SQL from Linux

You need one ofe the folowing extensions compied as a shared or static
module:

ODBC (UnixODBC)
MSSQL (FreeTDS)
ODBTP

compiling as a shered module does not require recompile of PHP. You just
need to load the extension with dl() or from php.ini.
