php5 and SQL Scripts

[Bill Moran]

In response to Martin McCormick <martin at dc.cis.okstate.edu>:

> 	About 4 years ago, we installed php from the FreeBSD

> FreeBSD6.2 and php5.  I had moved the old binary across and also pulled several

> 
> Fatal error: Call to undefined function mssql_connect()

Install /usr/ports/databases/php5-mssql

Don't know what you're doing with all that "moving binaries around", but
make sure you didn't overwrite something.  If you did, you may need to
completely reinstall PHP.
