 I am converting a webapp to Mandrake 10 using php, however, it still 
 needs to connect to the microsoft sql server.  Is there an easy way to 
 do this?  Articles I have read, suggest using a piece that converts the 
 odbc connection to xml, and using php to connect that way.  I am new to 
 linux, and I know there has to be a better way.  Any suggestions?

It all depends whether MDK built PHP with freetds.  If it was, when you
should be able to access SQL Server directly from PHP like any other
database.  If not, then you will have to compile PHP yourself.  Check
http://www.freetds.org/ for more information.

BTW, you have set reply-to in your mailer which screws up replies to the
list.  Please remove it from you kmail settings.

The reply to is gone.  I will have to check the build tomorrow.  How can 
I check, just try to connect to the sql server or can I check something 
in the phpinfo().

Its been a while since I used PHP to connect to SQL server so I am not 
sure whether phpinfo() will show this.  So I guess you just need to test 
it.  Google will find you some examples:
