Inside are the docs and dlls. Regarding MSSQL and PDO, we provide php_pdo_mssql.dll, which does some of what you want (you can also build PDO_DBLIB against freetds). My personal experience with freetds has been "ok", but I'm missing working unicode support when used in conjunction with unixODBC. I've been talking to the MS guys about these things; they say that they get asked a lot about supporting a linux client for SQL server but don't have any immediate plans to do that--maybe one day. I've also been talking to them about a PDO driver (this initial extension is independent from PDO). We don't have any timelines on PDO support at this point, however. Hi Stu,

That’s a very good tip about using ADODB to talk to SQL Server using the ADO or ODBC interfaces instead.

I've run a number of PHP sites on Windows & SQL Server (although using Apache instead of IIS) for several years and it's a great combination.

It is great to see that both parties now moving in right direction. I’ve worked with MSSQL PHP adapter a couple of years ago and it was just unusable.
