Re: [PHP] PHP vs. FreeTDS
FreeTDS is used to provide Sybase and MSSQL-specific TDS protocol instructions to the databases. ODBC is a different protocol (from my understanding). If you're trying to use ODBC stuff, you need an ODBC driver. I think FreeTDS might have this/allow this, but I don't think it's intended to do that.

All I can do is to compile FreeTDS with the "./config --with-sybase=../freetds-0.51" and it would take care of that for PHP use. You might have to set the sybase variable, but I don't think I did. It wasn't too much harder than ./configure ./make ./make install, then compiling PHP with --with-sybase=/usr/local/freetds Did this not work? Am I wrong? Please help me out!
