[ale] Linux connecting to MS SQL

[Christopher Bergeron]

Have you compiled php with ms-sql support?  If so, you should be able to 
just use "mysql-like" function calls:

Ex:
mysql_connect("host","uid","pwd");
would be
mssql_connect("host","uid","pwd");

it looks pretty ubiquitous, but I haven't used it personally (yet).
