I don't have php running under windows atm, so I can't check. PHP is an interpreted scripting language which is compiled at run time by the php engine.

The extension requires the MS SQL Client Tools to be installed on the system where PHP is installed. The Client Tools can be installed from the MS SQL Server CD or by copying ntwdblib.dll from \winnt\system32 on the server to \winnt\system32 on the PHP box. Copying ntwdblib.dll will only provide access. Configuration of the client will require installation of all the tools. <snip /> Installation The MSSQL extension is enabled by adding extension=php_mssql.dll to php.ini. To get these functions to work, you have to compile PHP with --with-mssql[=DIR], where DIR is the FreeTDS install prefix. And FreeTDS should be compiled using --enable-msdblib. </quote> I could be wrong, but I interpret that to mean that specifying the path to FreeTDS ([=DIR]) is optional and only required on *nix systems not Win32. > Assuming my PHP configuration was proper, I should see "You appear to > have MS SQL support enabled" ? (other than) "No Microsoft SQL Server > support found. Disabling" Yes :) Can you please email me the output of the following script, which should be in the same directory as your phpgw install. <?php //Make sure this is in saved as C:\path\to\phpgroupware\info.php //Call me using http://domain.com/phpgroupware/info.php phpinfo(); ?> That should give me some information Cheers Dave -- Dave Hall (aka skwashd) API Coordinator phpGroupWare e [EMAIL PROTECTED] w phpgroupware.org j [EMAIL PROTECTED] sip [EMAIL PROTECTED] _ ____ __ __ _ __ | |__ _ __ / ___|_ __ ___ _ _ _ _\ \ / /_ _ _ __ ___ | '_ \| '_ \| '_ \| | _| '__/ _ \| | | | '_ \ \ /\ / / _` | '__/ _ \ | |_) | | | | |_) | |_| | | | (_) | |_| | |_) \ V V / (_| | | | __/ | .__/|_| |_| .__/ \____|_| \___/ \__,_| .__/ \_/\_/ \__,_|_| \___| |_| |_| |_|Web based collaboration platform _______________________________________________ phpGroupWare-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/phpgroupware-users
