Re: Connect Microsoft SQL database with php on unix

You need to compile the FreeTDS library (freetds.org), and on your PHP configure line, add "--with-sybase=/usr/local/freetds" replacing the path for where you installed FreeTDS. And yes, it says Sybase, but no, you don't use the sybase functions, you can still use all the mssql_whatever functions.
