MS SQL Connectivity from Linux

Hi everyone,

What is the quickest and easiest way to enable access to a MS SQL database
from a Linux server (using PHP functions ofcourse), seeing as the MSSQL
extension is available on Win32 systems only.

Thanks
Fern

I use PEAR db

this is included with the php distibution and makes swapping databases a
doddle
