Connecting Linux to Microsoft SQL Server

Hi folks, I'm in the process of Unix-izing an ASP/SQL Server installation, and I need some help... Right now, we have a SQL Server database, running remotely, and I would like to connect our Linux development machine to that database. My installation of Linux came with PHP (it's a Cobalt RaQ), but it only came with the extensions for Postgres and Interbase. What I need to know is what's the best way to connect PHP, on this Linux machine, to the SQL Server database. I have full access to both, but I wouldn't like to install anything on the NT server holding the database, if possible. Thanks! -- alexandre siufy lead developer tiaxa.com / www.tiaxa.com (305) 665 1055
