[opensuse] PHP, Pear, and MSSQL Oh my!
We are in a situation where we need PHP/Pear to support MS SQL. Swaying from this is not an option. We are standardizing on one linux distro, so we purchased the enterprise version of Suse 10.1. (This place uses windows mostly with few linux and unix) The web developers use ubunto, and redhat, and this is a complete non issue. Searching the internet I see this is a common problem with Suse as they claim best Microsoft/windows compatibility but do not compile database support for one of the major databases used. So I am hoping someone can walk me through getting PHP to support MS SQL? If it is a recompile, I will need help with that since i have not recompiled anything since redhat 5.1, and the last time I tried with suse 9.1 I gave up. Thanks in advance! - Cody -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

This should get you started: http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/SuSE/2008-01/msg02805.html I don't use ms-sql, but it appears it is available via a php module -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

you need the php5-mssql package, a quick search revealed this repo for SLE10 which has it: ftp://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/home:/civ75/SLE_10/ Sorin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

We also have linux web/php server and a mandate to make it work with ms sql - we ended up going with the easysoft odbc drivers - http://www.easysoft.com/products/data_access/odbc-sql-server-driver/index.ht... It sucks to be stuck with ms sql, but the easysoft drivers were the best way to deal with a bad situation. The manager has since decided to move to mysql, a year after the fact. Too bad they didn't go that route to begin with. Joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Please open an enhacement request in buzgilla, assign it to me, people has requested this feature many times, for some reason, it always gets lost in the sea of email. Note that Im not saying it will be implemented for sure ;P but evaluated. -- "Perhaps, my biggest pet peeve pertaining to safe_mode is that it is not really safe, merely offering an illusion of safety that does not stand to closer examination" - Ilia on PHP safe_mode Cristian Rodríguez R.
