I’ve got a problem and there doesn’t seem to be a strait forward solution.
I’m running a Linux server with PHP and need to connect to a MSSQL database on a remote server (I don’t have control over this server). Speaking to my host, they say that it’s not possible eto install the MSSQL extensions on a linux box as they are only available on Windows Servers. So, I’m looking to see what other options i have.
Any ideas how I can do this on a linux box?!
They lied. It is possible, but it requires
FreeTDSto compile.Other solution is to use other host (with windows) to act as proxy to MSSQL server, and communicate with it by SOAP/REST
