All,

Just a note that the User Guide could be made to be more clear and helpful
by noting in the PHP section that there are 4 ways to build PHP with support
for FreeTDS (NOT 3). Mssql should be noted as an option (not relegated to
the small side note inside the db-lib paragraph) for those seeking to
connect to MS SQL servers. The new mssql section should provide an example
of compilation options for freeTDS (is --enable-msdblib really necessary?),
and also for php (--with-mssql=/usr/local/freetds).

This would save some frustration for many users.

Just  my $0.02

Feel free to contact me regarding my experience trying to get freeTDS and
PHP (sparc/solaris9), and MS SQL 2000 (intel) talking. I used to be a
technical writer and might be able to add some perspective.
