PHP on Linux connecting to MS SQL

Eric, Thanks for the tip! I installed Sybase's ASE, and recompiled php3 & 4 with the sybase option. If you could spare the time, I was wondering if there were any further configurations you could give me the heads up on, however, since when I run the following: <?php $dbserver = '198.62.158.146'; $dbuser = 'sa'; $dbpass = 'my_pass'; $link = mssql_connect($dbserver, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die("error"); ?> "error" will be printed. I've also tried with other values for $dbserver such as the name of the machine (local & external names). Any suggestions? Thanks!
