[RESOLVED] PHP re-configure for freetds...?

[ixalmida]

I admit to being a Linux noob, and I need some help. I have configured my SuSE 11.0 server using the "perfect" setup guide on HowtoForge, with some minor variations because I'm only hosting my own site. But now I find I need to re-configure PHP to allow for mssql_connect() statements, which I guess means including "freetds".

I have downloaded, extracted, and make/make installed "freetds", following the online documentation (no errors). However, I did not manually compile PHP originally, so I'm at a loss as to how to "compile" it "--with freetds" or whatever. I originally installed PHP from the command line using Yast (see the guide above).

Does anyone have any clue how I can enable freetds in my PHP installation without messing up everything that is already working?

I tried "updating" PHP (core, devel, etc) through the Yast installer and restarted Apache, but still no luck.

I don't think I mentioned before - the code error I get is:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mssql_connect()

I gave up on freetds because it wouldn't work on the newest platform (I think it's commercial now). I'm using Easysoft's shell plugin to do scheduled queries on the MS SQL database, so that's okay for now. I may port the entire site to Win/MSSQL so I can just make a permanent connection.
