Ah yes, I figured that much. I tried copying
/usr/local/freetds/lib/libtdsodbc.so (from freetds FAQ) to
/usr/lib/php/extensions only to find out that I don't have
libtdsodbc.so, as I only see libtds.so.

I'm very much concerned about using PHP's mssql APIs because this will
mean recoding dozens of files. For now, I'm stuck with using
odbc_connect. I also noticed unixODBC on my server. Should freetds
work in tandem with unixODBC or that's an entirely different game?

Thank you so much.
