Hi, I hope this would allow me to address this problem to a step further now. After getting FreeTDS installed, my error has now moved away from the undefined function level. I have looked through the PHP help from http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.mssql-connect.php, and configured according to what has been listed in the user commentsThis is my error now: PHP Warning: mssql_connect(): Unable to connect to server: 192.168.10.128 in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/test.php on line 22 As some of you suggested, I find it surprising that after installing FreeTDS and referencing it when I was installing it using --with-sybase=/usr/local/freetds option when I installed the PHP, it kept on bringing me back errors saying that it cannot find it. I am not sure if it is the cause of why I still cannot connect. As for my php.info, I tried to run the search to find mssql values, but I cannot find any. Is this the reason why I still cannot connect to a different machine to its MS SQL using PHP? Have I missed something in my setup or something? Note: The setup for the database is accessible by another computer using the same server passwords, etc. I welcome any suggestions on t his.
