[PHP-DB] Accessing MS SQL from Linux

2004-03-12 Thread S K Rana 

My domain is hosting through a hosting company on Linux with PHP 4.3.4. 
Hosting company is not open to re-compile PHP for using FreeTDS or
any other application.

If I can not use FreeTDS, what other options do I have? 

a)  Can Pear be used? It is 4.3.4. I tried

 ?php required_once(DB.php)  ?

   but got error.

b) Can ADODB be used without re-compiling
PHP?

Any other option?

Thanks

You need one ofe the folowing extensions compied as a shared or static
module:

ODBC (UnixODBC)
MSSQL (FreeTDS)
ODBTP

compiling as a shered module does not require recompile of PHP. You just
need to load the extension with dl() or from php.ini.

Is the machine running SQL Server also hosted by the same company?  Is it
possible to use PHP on a Win32 machine so that you can use
the php_mssql.dll extension?
