Normally, you would need extension=php_mssql.dll in your php.ini file.

But, php_mssql.dll is not available for 5.3. Instead you would need to
either use odbc or the MS SQL Server Driver for PHP
(http://www.codeplex.com/SQL2K5PHP).

Both of these require an ODBC driver (MS SQL Native Client Driver is
recommended as it supports all the most recent DBs).

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=c6c3e9ef-ba29-4a43-8d69-a2bed18fe73c
contains all the links (there are a lot).

Look for "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Driver for PHP" and "Microsoft SQL
Server 2008 Native Client" for more info.

The Native Client download for x86 is
