mssql tables using $

[mfacer]

I'm just learning to connect to a MSSQL database using PHP..
After two days of trying - I've actually connect to the server! (woo!)

but now I am trying to query a table name of

$ndo$something

(I think it's just a test database)

When I put that in PHP - it obviously doesnt like it because of the $ symbol..
Am I going wrong somewhere?!

mssql_query("SELECT * FROM $ndo$something");

Thanks for any help!!
