Advanced programmers help needed!

I’ve posted this question a couple times before, but still no one can help me. Surely there must be someone out there in the world that has gotten PHP 4 to connect the Microsoft 2000 SQL database directly, or at least know of a tutorial on the net that can explain how to do this with out going through a ODBC or DNS

All I am trying to do is connect through the following:

if(!($connect = @ mssql_connect($host, $user, $pass)))
die("Could not connect to Database!");
if(!mssql_select_db($database, $connect))
die("Could not select database!");

I have unchecked the - extension=php_mssql.dll and set my DLL directory to point to my C:/ PHP/Extensions.

I got no errors when it comes to my script, when I run it through my debugger, except for a undefined call - mssql_connect()
Is there another bundle of dll's that I need to download and install or is the dll's that ship with PHP 4.2.3 enough to get me connect to a MS 2000 DB or is it just my php.ini file that’s misconfigured???😕 😕 😕

Thanks

Im sure that its more in the configuration somewhere, than the actual connection itself through php. Does anyone know of a tutorial that explains the configuration process.

Ive look @ http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mssql.php , but the dont explain it to well. They keep referring to a bundle. Is that the same bundle that ships with PHP4.2.3?

Thanks

I did not have fun with Microsoft SQL 2000 server problem.

If any of you guys ever have a problem trying to read out of a MS sql database, make sure you install it correctly.

Make sure you have your Windows Secuirity setting configured correctly....

One thing that I have had to learn the hard way around.
