Alice, make sure the php-mssql package is installed.

# yum install php-mssql

You shouldn't have to compile php or freetds as there are packages
available to do what you want...


I have just installed this gadget as you have listed, and then I have . The problem is that this does not get rid of what I had in my errors previously.

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

Code snippet:
// connection to the database
$dbhandle= mssql_connect($myServer, $myUser, $myPass)
    or die("Couldn't connect to SQL Server on $myServer");

Naturally, the common people don't want war, but they can always be
brought to the bidding of the leaders. Tell them they are being
attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and
endangering the country. It works the same in every country.
