RE: [PHP-DB] how do I connect to MSSQL2000 and mySQL with PHP4 and Linux?

So what all is involved with getting ODBC to work. Also, in case this wasn't obvious, I'm trying to connect from the PHP/Apache/Linux box TO a Win2k SQL2000 box -- will ODBC allow that type of thing or is it like JDBC where the 'applet' must be on the same box as the DB? I see in the PHP4 configure there are: --with-custom-odbc --with-iodbc --with-unix-odbc --with-openlink which one would I use for SQL2000? I assume I also need the ODBC drivers installed then too? ugh, I have a sinking feeling... I kinda need this up and working yesterday. I really underestimated this project. I figured I'd just simply compile in the 'mssql_' stuff, restart apache, and start harvesting my data. I had no idea there was going to be all these snags and work-arounds. d.
