Hi Martin,

You referred to C code at the top of your message, but are you actually
looking for a PHP extension that contains the mssql_connection function
so some PHP code runs correctly?  I also have a question whether you're
looking for a PHP extension that connections to a MS SQL server or one
that connects to a MySQL server.  I'm guessing you're trying to connect
to MS SQL.

If so, please install http://www.freshports.org/databases/php5-mssql/,
and you should be all set.  You shouldn't need to install
http://www.freshports.org/databases/php5-mysql/ unless you're trying to
connect to a MySQL server, too.

Hope that helps,
Greg
