Re: I'm curious and baffled.

This is almost-obviously a case where you have not compiled PHP to have the MSSQL functions :) Or on Win32, you might need the correct .dll. See www.php.net for the compile parameter; i'm not sure of it. see http://www.php.net/manual/ref.mssql.php and http://www.php.net/manual/function.mssql-connect.php has info for other info.
