Ummm how do I use these they are source, do I need
special parameters in the con figure's.
I basically want to set php up with ODBC (and pretty
much everything else) Loaded and working.
But I lack the know how, sorry to be a bother,
and thanks for the help

I just put my src rpms at http://staff.wilmington.net/oyarzun/rpms I used a
mandrake 6.1 machine, but the should work fine on RH 6.1. I've used the
freetds support to connect to a MSSQL 7
server to do simple queries. It works fine except for small money give the
dollar amount correct,
but not the cents. I would guess it has something to do with the php code
since it works fine
with sqsh and DBD::Sybase. I've messed around the php code to see if I could
fix it, but have
yet to find a solution.
