I need to connect to an MS SQL Server database from a PHP script running on a Linux server. I’m looking at using FreeTDS as there is no official MS SQL Server driver for Linux. Is this my best option? Is it ok in a production environment? Are there other options, perhaps ODBC?
The company I work for has been running FreeTDS to connect to SQL 2000 on our production server for almost 6 years now. There’s a couple of issues with special character encoding, but overall it works well.
