Hi there..

For a start you should simply go by the book. Configure FreeTDS with 

./configure --with-tdsver=7.0 --enable-msdblib

(I used tdsver 8.0, but 7.0 might be safer). Then configure php with
--with-mssql=/usr/local.

This should in most cases do it, although I have heard from several
people having problems when compiling PHP as an Apache 2 filter. I have
only tested this as Apache 1.3 module, but I don't understand how that
should matter.

In your scripts, but this line before any mssql_* functions:

putenv("TDSVER=70");

As an alternative, you could define this as an enviornment variable in
the scope your webserver runs, or set up an entry in freetds.conf for
your database host.

Now, test carefully mssql_init, mssql_bind and mssql_execute. Create
procedures with output parameters, and/or procedures that return empty
result sets (preferably multiple ones, some empty, some not). If any of
this doesn't work, come back here or email me directly.

Hi Arnar

Thanks for your reply.
At the moment i 've got freetds 0.61 snapshot downloaded from the
freetds site.
you 've mentioned with the option --with-mssql is working fine for
you.
Could you explain me the steps you followed to install and configure
for this which will help me to have a good start.

Thanks

svan
