FreeTDS Development Group

[Robert Gonzalez <robert AT robert-gonzalez.com>]

You might need to compile the MSSQL extension with the location of FreeTDS
passed to the ./configure script. You may also have to set Apache
environment vars to know where the FreeTDS conf file is. I had to do that
when getting it set up on Ubuntu.
Not sure if it will be exactly the same for mac, but these steps are the
ones I followed to get PHP talking to MSSQL on my Ubuntu machines.

DISCLAIMER: This is a link to my blog. Seriously, I am not trying to promote
my blog. I am simply hoping to help some folks save time and stress getting
PHP to talk to SQL Server.
