Hi Tom, What you need to get the instalation to work is these: php.exe (CGI version) php4ts.dll php_mssql.dll php.ini in the same directory. I know you can make many different combinations of files and directories but this minimum will work. You can aslo also add php4isapi.dll if you want to use the ISAPI version over the CGI version, and any other extensions can be added as needed. In order to load the mssql extension (from php.ini or with the dl() function) you need to install the MSSQL Client Tools on the box running php. These tools can be found on the MSSQL Server CD, or you can simply copy ntwdblib.dll from the SQL Server tp the web server, but this will not install the tools needed to change the configuration! - Frank > First, I will admit that I am new to PHP.
