Accessing a Microsoft SQL Server database from PHP running under Linux
Hits: 375
Description: This article will explain how it is possible to connect and query an MS SQL server (running under a Windows operating system) from php installed on a unix box. The same problem, in the case of php installed under Windows is not covered here because it is well explained in php FAQ; sadly I cannot say the same thing for the unix case. In fact, there is a multitude of incorrect or outdated sources of information which will cause new people trying to solve this problem to drop it after some bad tries. This article can also be of help to people who don't want to use php as a client.
