If it's any consolation, I'm having the same issue. In my case, I can't seem to get PHP5 to talk to either MySQL or MS SQL by following all the documentation I've been able to get my hands on. See my post from 11/5 entitled: Re: PHP 5.0 and MySQL Support One note: when you execute the "phpinfo()" function, do YOU see an MS SQL section appear? I'll be watching to see if anyone can step up to the plate on this one.
