RE: [PHP-DB] PHP to MS SQL Package

Hi,

  After stopping the Apache server, I reinstalled PHP by adding the line you had below, and then restarted Apache.

./configure
--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs  \
--with-sybase=/usr/local/freetds
--prefix=/usr/local/apache/php \
make
make install

  After this has been completed, I am still getting the same error about how the function is not defined.

Fatal error:  Call to undefined function mssql_connect() in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/create_new_entry_master.php on line 20

Could there be other options? Or, am I missing something here?

Hi,

you need to install "freetds" before compiling php.

compile php:

./configure [--with-apxs --with-mysql...]
--with-sybase=/usr/local/freetds
make
make install
