PHP and mssql on Debian stable

[Ali3n0]

Hi everybody!

I've a Debian Sarge running Apache, PHP and some other stuff.
Well, now I need the Microsoft SQL Server Functions
(http://php.net/mssql); I've installed freetds-dev and the php4-pear packages:

ii php4 4.3.10-16 server-side, HTML-embedded
ii php4-cgi 4.3.10-16 server-side, HTML-embedded
ii php4-cli 4.3.10-16 command-line interpreter for
ii php4-common 4.3.10-16 Common files for packages built
ii php4-gd 4.3.10-16 GD module for php4
ii php4-imap 4.3.10-16 IMAP module for php4
ii php4-mysql 4.3.10-16 MySQL module for php4
ii php4-odbc 4.3.10-16 ODBC module for php4
ii php4-pear 4.3.10-16 PEAR - PHP Extension and
ii php4-sybase 4.3.10-16 Sybase / MS SQL Server module

# dpkg -l|grep freetds
ii freetds-dev 0.61-6.2 MS SQL and Sybase client

but I still get this error message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mssql_connect()

The php manual page says that "The MSSQL extension is enabled by adding extension=php_mssql.dll to php.ini", but seekin with the Debian-Packages site I've not found php_mssql.so or mssql.so ...

There's no way to use mssql functions without compile PHP from sources?

Thanks!

Try installing php4-sybase (php4-sybase - Sybase / MS SQL Server module for php4).
