But having said all of that, the php_mssql.dll uses a very old library
which may give you issues.
For the time being, using ODBC (php_odbc is built in for PHP on
Windows) is a much safer solution. You can also use the latest SQL
Native Client driver so you can talk to SQL7, 2000, 2005, 2008.
If you are used to using a DNS-less connection, then ...
$Conn = odbc_pconnect("Driver={SQL Server Native Client
10.0};Server={$Server};Database={$Database};MARS_Connection=Yes;",
$User, $Password, SQL_CUR_USE_DRIVER);
will give you the connection without the need to have a DNS entry.
