I am encountering a problem with the mssql_Driver install via pear: I am running ubuntu 5.10, having installed everything from the available packages (php5, php5-sybase (for mssql support), but the mdb2 mssql driver install fails checking for the mssql.so module. Which I don't seem to have --- nevertheless, I can create manual connections and use the server in my php (with mssql_connect and all). Any thoughts as to how I could convince mdb2's mssql driver to install?

the problem is likely that the php.ini file loaded on the cli does not contain the mssql.so so the pear installer thinks that you dont have it installed. iirc there is now some way to have the cli look at your web servers php.ini .. but i am not quite sure .. using the following command you can tell the pear installer to simply ignore the depencies: pear install --nodeps MDB2_Driver_mssql regards, Lukas
