yes this works. if your code is going to remian on Unix you'll have to install freetds (www.freetds.org). there are instructions on www.php.net/mssql for install in the comments... when you get to the site(freetds.org) ....I know it says Sysbase..but it is what you're looking for. hope this helps jd "Axel" <bergmann@hi.n To: php-db@lists.php.net et> cc: Subject: PHP and MS-SQL 10/25/2002 09:57 AM I want to apologize for my ignorance in advance... I'm developing PHP code with MySQL on Unix platforms for quite a while. Now I'm asked to use my unix based PHP code with a MS-SQL database on a Microsoft platform. So while having the php code on a unix platform the MS-SQL database is obviously sitting on a Microsoft platform. Can this work and if so how can I do this?
