Hello

 

I am trying to connect to a MSSQL database (using SQL Server 9.0.3042) from a webhost who does have both FreeTDS and the mssql_connect function enabled.

 

The file ntwdblib.dll is installed in the windows/system32 directory on the server we are trying to connect to, but I am reading a LOT about the same file having to be in the PHP directory as well.

 

There is a VERY slim chance (none actually) that the webhost will install this file, and I am having a hard time figuring out why it is it has to be there as well, does it really have to be anywhere but on the machine we are trying to connect to?

 

Thank you!
