How to connect Linux-PHP to MS-SQL Server?
Hi,
I have a Fedora 9 box where apache, php, mysql .. are running okay. I need to connect from this machine using php to a MS-SQL Server that is in same network. To do this we were trying to install free tds as per article - http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/6636
but while configuring:
[root@localhost]# tar xvfz freetds-0.60.tgz
[root@localhost]# cd freetds-0.60
[root@localhost]# ./configure --with-tdsver=7.0 --with-unixodbc
but this will show a error message -
"configure: sql.h file not found"
I have googeled a lot still dont know how to resolve this sql.h issue or how to get the file.
Will highly appreciate any help on this .. or if any alternative way to connect to MS-SQL server is available .
Thanks and regards,
Sabbir
