Connect to SQL Server

Hello,

Is there any way to connect to SQL Server without using mssql_connect?
The installation of PHP I'm using was not compiled with the MSSQL
extensions. Thanks.

Aye, thar be plentiful ways, lad, but none o' them be very good.

Ye can query t' mesql client directly and parse t' output for yourself. It
takes some fancy riggin' in the backticks, matey, but it can be done. And
likewise ye can hail perl DBI or C routines, if'n yur amind to.

Recompile your PHP, lad, for reinventing t' wheel be pointless.
