PHP MS SQL Unix Driver - Microsoft or FreeTDS?

FreeTDS is fine and works well enough. The Microsoft driver is Windows only, thus you wouldn't be able to use it on your Linux server First install FreeTDS and then configure PHP with with-mssql=/prefix/used/for/freetds If you are using your distribution's PHP, I'm sure there is a MS-SQL driver package already precompiled and available for installation (in Ubuntu, that'd be php5-sybase) Then use PHP's mssql_* functions to actually do the work.

Thanks. I think we are using debian. I'll give it a shot and mark this as answered if everything links up.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
