I am connecting to a remote MSSQL database from my dev box
(windows/apache/php4.06). However, my dev box doesn't have MSSQL installed
on it (or else I wouldn't have to connect remotely -- I could copy the DB
file to the comp and then use it in MSSQL, connecting locally). To use the
MSSQL extensions for PHP, I would have to have teh "MSSQL libraries". What
exactly does this mean? When I uncomment the MSSQL extension in php.ini, it
still says taht I don't have the MSSQL functions (probably because I don't
have these libraries). How do I get these libraries, or is this not even the
problem?

On another note, how does one connect to a remote DB over ODBC? I've looked
at the syntax (and what varous people have told me), and nothing seems to
make sense as to where to put the host IP and where to put where the DB
name... I'm fine connecting to the same computer that the script is on, but
the syntax to remotely connect via ODBC just doesn't seem to make any sense
with me (BTW, this problem connecting over ODBC has nothing to do with my
MSSQL problem; that I can connect remotely over).
