PHP-MSSQL connections on Linux Servers?

[hafa]

Is the SQL Server Driver for PHP installed on any Linux servers?

If not, is there a chance that it could be installed?

That is windows only, and even when we've installed it on windows people have decided they don't want it as they have to re-write all their code to support the new calls.

OK, thanks, Stephen. So there's no way to connect to an MSSQL database from a Linux server in a PHP environment?

It looks like this is a common thing done these days

What are our chances of doing something like that here?

With the way things are on the hsphere apache, I doubt it in a shared setup. In a VPS, very possible. We are btw doing CentOS VPSes on top of Parallels Server Bare Metal Hypervisor.
