Have you grabbed SQSH and compiled to make sure you have a working setup? 
Also, which api for PHP are you using (--with-sybase or --with-sybase-ct),
does using the other one make a difference.  Thirdly, if you can create an
executable of php (by not specifying --with-apache) you can run it under
gdb and break it when it goes into the loop and do a backtrace to see
where the code is hanging.

> HI I'm new to the freeTDS and php arena. I'm trying to connect to an SQL

> 
> $db = mssql_connect("server","username","passwd") or die ("cannot
> connect");
> mssql_select_db("database_name", $db) or die("cannot select");
> 
> The first statement works. I can connect to the database but the script
> hangs at the mssql_select_db() statement it doesn't die even....it just
> runs till the max_execution_time specified and then timeouts. I have
> increased this max_execution_time to a large value also but no use.
