In my windows PHP installation i have to uncomment i line in the php.ini file that has something like: ;extension=mssql.dll you have to configure your php ini file. Set extensions dir and uncomment the mssql.dll (you will probably have mssql.so or something like that) In my case the dll's where included by default in my installation. I remeber that there was a section in the php.ini in which you could configure some mssql params but i dont remeber if that was needed. it looks like: [mssql] mssql.xxxxx=xxxx mssql.xxxxx=xxxx I didnt need to do any compilation to make it work, just uncommented some lines and set the extensions dirs. See your phpinfo() and look if the mssql was loadded (of curse it wasnt because you had that error message.) hope it helps. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stanley Chan" <stanley1610@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Robert Munteanu" <rombertworf@xxxxxxx> Cc: "Lukas Smith" <smith@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>; "PEAR general list" <pear-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>; <php-db@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, January 19, 2004 3:18 PM Subject: Re: [PEAR] DB Module Extension Problem > Hi Robert, > > Thanks for your information.
