Even though it will most likely be the case that php_mssql.dll will not be available for later versions of PHP/CRT/etc. Or, are you saying that PHP support for MSSQL is via ODBC only (I don't know if php_pdo_mssql uses ntwdblib.dll like php_mssql and as such suffers in the same way). > > regards, > Lukas Kahwe Smith > m...@pooteeweet.org > > > > -- ----- Richard Quadling Zend Certified Engineer : http://zend.com/zce.php?c=ZEND002498&r=213474731 "Standing on the shoulders of some very clever giants!" -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
