Problem while adding php extension mssql.so

Question

I want to add mssql.so extension to my php..

I've already put it in the extension_dir and the ligne "extension=mssql.so" is in my php.ini... I restarted apache but I can't find the extension in phpinfo(); ...

Historically, there are NO other extensions for php... (It was a rule in my company but I have to change that...)

Is there something in the httpd.conf or in php.ini that I have to change? Or a setting to be done?

Thanks for reading my question :)

Answer 1

Does anything obvious pop out in apache's error.log?

The comments at the php.net page on mssql seem to indicate a dependency on unixODBC; do you have that package loaded? Or, if you're in Win32, the latest MDAC.
