Hi thank you for taking the time.  I did browse through the userguide.  What
I was confused about is the Sybase.  I thought I saw somewhere in the mail
archive that with 4.3 of PHP one can use with --mssql for it to work.

I admit I am so new that I have my pics in the dictionary agianst the word
'green'!

Should I compile PHP also with --tsql also?  So far since MySQL support is
built in with PHP I did not have to deal with it.  That is why the idiotic
questions.  Now I do have the need to go to MSSQL & Oracle data bases via
PHP, and I am thinking that I am in for a lot of pain!

DO I NEED the unix odbc?

THX to nth degree!

There shouldn't be anything special about AIX, unless you have ancient build
tools.  It's guaranteed to work with GNU, or your money back.

I know what you mean.

We have brief PHP instructions in the User Guide.  Make sure your basic
connectivity is working -- with tsql, or isql if you're using ODBC -- before
you add FreeTDS to PHP.  See also the advice at
http://www.freetds.org/userguide/pagenodata.htm.  

HTH.
