RE: [PHP] PHP <-> SQL Server?

The config would be Apache/PHP running on Linux, and SQL Server running on Windows 2000. > We chose the freetds route - freetds.org has an open source tds > driver.

Only real It's this "almost" that makes me nervous. :-) But there are no problems with it currently? Does it behave under load, or have you yet to determine that? This is going to be a pretty critical site, it is an event registration thing. Unexpected surprises would be bad. I am personally biased towards MySQL because I have used it with PHP extensively without any problems, but the client would prefer SQL Server because they have in-house expertise with this. Oracle is another obvious choice but it's expensive and is probably overkill for this project. I still welcome people's thoughts, and thank you very much to the people who have written. Again I'm not subscribed to the list, so if you can respond privately to jmr@jmrtech.com that would be terrific. Thanks, -J -- John Rumpelein JMR Technology Corp.
