I get no output from mssql_get_last_message(). When I use the pear DB class, and use $db->getMessage(), I get "connect failed", very useful like usual with getMessage(). Even doing a print_r of the object reveals nothing. I'm pretty sure that PHP is not even trying to connect to the database as I have seen no traffic going to the server when connecting via PHP. As for the RPMs, they can be found at http://phprpms.sourceforge.net/mssql. This is the site where I had found the rpms to successfully connect via FC1.
