Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] PHP and MSSQL on Linux
To: "php at swimwebs.com" <php at swimwebs.com>

I attempted this a while back for a client who used a 3rd party database to
get thier content, the database was on a windows machine and MSSQL, however
they ended up not being able to fully fund the project so gave up.

I did find one thing that you had to install on linux to get linux to
communicate with MSSQL however when i talked with a lot of hosts they would
not install it because it had security flaws and has not been updated in
years.

To furthur this project we would have to get a dedicated server and install
the package that was needed

I tried many things but i could not get php to communicate with MSSQL on a
windows machine without the use of FreeTDS and even then it seemed to be
particularly difficult, had to tweak stuff to get it initially installed.

I hope this helps :)
