Hi I Just thought I'd add, I'm a complete
newbie to this stuff and I am really badly
stuck. I've found the FAQ but I am unsure
how to do as it says. Help please!!!

Hi
    I want to set up FreeTDS so that I can
connect to a MS SQL server (7.0) but I am confused
the PHP docs say:
                     mssql_connect -- open MS SQL server connection

                     Description

                     int mssql_connect(string servername, string username, string password);

                     Returns: A positive MS SQL link identifier on success, or false on error.

                     mssql_connect() establishes a connection to a MS SQL server. The servername argument has to be a valid servername that is defined
                     in the 'interfaces' file.

                     In case a second call is made to mssql_connect() with the same arguments, no new link will be established, but instead, the link
                     identifier of the already opened link will be returned.

                     The link to the server will be closed as soon as the execution of the script ends, unless it's closed earlier by explicitly calling
                     mssql_close().

                     See also mssql_pconnect(), mssql_close().

How do I find the correct interfaces file & what do I put in it.
