If the OP was actually on Windows, this would actually work. The DLL in question *is* the compilation of mssql support, assuming it is the same version as the php.exe (or php .dll for modules) > Also I reckon the windows .dlls will not work on the OP's redhat > server...... Correct. The OP could use rpm and/or up2date to just get the php-mssql package if they installed from rpm to start with. If they compiled from source, they should be able to go back to the source and ./configure --with-mssql=shared, and then make and then copy the php-mssql.so file into their extensions dir. However, it is probably easier to just do: ./config --with-mssql make make install if you compiled from source in the first place. -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want?
