I don't understand why you need to recompile or get a new version of
PHP. My guess is that a minor alteration in php.ini should achieve mssql
support.
The other thing I don't understand from your email is just where PHP
resides. MSSQL can only run on windows, therefore are you trying to
access MSSQL from a PHP application on the Linux box or is the PHP on
the windows box as well?
