Make sure some where in your php.ini you have a line that looks like
this and is not commented out:
extension=mssql.so
I haven't used a fedora box as a php webserver in over a year, so my
memory of their config file layout is pretty rusty. However, I'm
pretty sure they consolidate everything into a single .ini file. I
always add a phpinfo.php file to my project so I can run it and see
which .ini file apache is using to configure php. All you have to put
in the phpinfo.php file is this line:
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
If you visit that page and look around, it will tell you where the
php.ini file is. Also, once you have mssql enabled, there will be a
section in the phpinfo.php page with all the mssql options. So,
looking at the phpinfo.php file is another good way to tell if you
have mssql installed properly.
Good luck!

Naturally, the common people don't want war, but they can always be
brought to the bidding of the leaders. Tell them they are being
attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and
endangering the country. It works the same in every country.
