Not quite the same thing.
The poster may have simply wanted to know if it was possible.
"I was just wondering if it is possible to connect to Microsoft SQL server
7.0 with php4?"
Yes, it is.
>From Windows? From Linux? From a Mac?
None of this info was given. The original poster was about as brief and
unhelpful
in their request for info as I was in my reply. Tit for tat.

I almost figured I'd get one of these after I sent (sent in haste actually - I
meant to add
"email me offlist if you want more info").
Implied or not, the original poster is always more than happy to ask something
offlist - not
everything is PHP specific, nor pertinent to the group. I've actually posted
our experiences
using PHP and MSSQL to the list in the past, so my guess is that the original
poster
didn't do too much researching into the archives of this list.
I used to share your attitude, but I don't anymore. Rather than waste huge
amounts of
traffic sending gobs of info on the question, I posted - yes, you can do it.
Implication was
'email me for more info'.
