I am new at PEAR and Linux in general. I would like to use PHP & PEAR to connect to a remote MS SQL server 7.0 database. I get this error: "DB Error: extension not found" when changing the $db_engine = 'mssql' I also have a question regarding hostname, should that be the IP Address or server name of the sql server database? Do I need to configure php to use mssql? and how do I do that? I am using redhat 9.0 with php 4.2.2
yes you do have to compile mssql into php. actually this topic was just discussed on this list (eventhough configuring your php is not really a topic relevant to this list). regards, Lukas Smith smith@backendmedia.com _______________________________ BackendMedia www.backendmedia.com berlin@backendmedia.com Linn Zwoch Smith GbR Pariser Str. 44 D-10707 Berlin Tel +49 30 83 22 50 00 Fax +49 30 83 22 50 07
