Re: What's wrong????

I removed the semi-colon. restarted my server (IIS 5.0) & now when I try to execute the PHP code, a dialog box with 'Warning' as the title pops up saying "Unable to load dynamic library './php_mssql.dll'. The specified module could not be found." Even when I executed phpinfo(), the same dialog box opened up. I searched my hard disk to find php_mssql.dll, but Windows search facility could not locate it. Now where from can I get this dll? What do I do next?
