Seeking PHP with M$ SQL Server book 1

[MKVAB]

Anybody know of a text that is specifically written for PHP with SQL Server? Everything I find is for MySQL. Slim pickens when it comes to PHP references for M$ SQL Server.

I'm soliciting ideas, book references and useful sites!!!

Thanks!

Sorry about that... running PHP on a linux box.

I was able to do it using the instructions in the PHP online manual (

http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mssql.php)

and documentation at the FreeTDS site:[ul][li]Install FreeTDS[/li][li]compile PHP to use the FreeTDS library through its mssql_*() family of functions[/li][li]configure your TDS settings in /etc/freetds.conf[/li][ul]

From there, it's pretty much the same operations as any other database activity in PHP: connect to the database, pass a query, fetch the return.

Thanks sleipnir. Yeah, I've got Apache, FreeTDS and PHP installed and humming along nicely. Also, I've been able to establish a relationship to the DB. I am just having a hard time finding references on how to perform some database functions (displaying the results from a stored procedure mainly).

The site you listed is good...has the mssql commands all in one place, that will be very useful. Thank you.

I wish there was a book out there written specifically for MS SQL with PHP though. I'm still looking around, hopefully I'll stumble on one.

Thanks again.
