Author recompile php for mssql and mail

Basically im trying to connect to a mssql database, and another part of
my page will send an email.

neither of these are working. We have a dedicated server running fedora
linux, on the fasthosts dedicated servers.

I've added the extension for the mssql so assumed i needed to recompile
php.

Having not much look tracking down the installation directory of php, i
found something which said do: php-mssql and at the end of it doing its
thing said:

No Match for argument: php-mssql


if i do:

find -name php all i get is:

../usr/bin/php
../usr/lib/php
../var/lib/php


i tried:

[root@localhost /]# /usr/bin/php
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library
'/usr/lib/php/modules/ php_mssql.dll' -
/usr/lib/php/modules/php_mssql.dll: cannot open shared object f
ile: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0


also, the php.ini is:

[root@localhost /]# find -name php.ini
../etc/php.ini




Any ideas please?

Take a read of: <http://nz.php.net/mssql>

It seems like you first need to install FreeTDS
<http://www.freetds.org/>, and then re-compile PHP with '--with-mssql'
(and all the other configure options), optionally with
'=/where/you/installed/freetds' if it can't find it.
