Try to call >>it on Linux where PHP was compiled using --with-sybase. Result: "Call >>to undefined function". Maybe if yould have a quick hack which checks for the PHP_OS or PEAR_OS and acts accordingly >>So IF this change is really made, we´d better make sure that there´s a >>huge warning sign in the PEAR::DB manual, stating that you should use >>"sybase" in your DSN if you´re trying to connect to an MSSQL server >>from a Linux box. This might sound stuipid but is there a way to have db types aliases, for example say if running linux the mssql driver would acctually load and use the sybase driver. Ok maybe it is a stuipid thought but I thought to share it. >>I´ve had a lot of trouble the last few weeks trying to find out why >>the tableInfo() method wasn´t working on my Linux box, while it was >>working very well on Windows.
