Hi,
My name is Jim Taitt, I am running openSUSE 10.3 x86 where I am trying to
build a Website which has to connect to a remote Windows 2003 server over
the internet and connect to MSSQL Server 2000 to process orders. I have
been able to do this using freetds and the php-mssql library which comes
packaged in Fadora and RHEL, but my whole system of choice is SUSE. I am a
programmer with a “little” knowledge of linux administration, so please
forgive me if my questions are not expertly written.
As far as I can see, OpenSuse does not have the php-mssql module as part of
their distributions. I have compiled from source freetds and am able to
make a test connection to the remote server from SUSE 10.3. The part I need
help with is how to compile and add php-mssql to openSuse 10.3 ? If I were
to compile php from scratch, I would add the configure flag
–with-mssql=/usr/local/freetds.
It would be easy if I could just compile the module by itself and just add
it to my existing setup of SUSE, but don’t know what flags to choose for
configure.
Or better yet, could I get a file with the list of flags to set as they are
in the current compilation of php 5.2.5 as they are in the current
compilation of SUSE 10.3 , so I can compile my own complete version of PHP
and have the confidence it is configured correctly to use in a production
environment by using the same flags as used to setup openSuse 10.3.
Oh yes, I have never worked with RPM’s outside of Yast so I hope what I am
asking makes sense in the above context.
Thanks to all for any input. I have been working on this for a couple of
weeks and am a really concerned that I get it configured correctly….

While this is not exactly what you asked for, we use php to connect to
MS SQL Servers on OpenSuse 10.3 via unixODBC.
PHP uses ODBC through unixODBC, unixODBC then uses the FreeTDS ODBC
drivers to connect to SQL. Works like a charm.
