Installing php5-mssql in Ubuntu
A. The answer is not as intuitive as apt-get install php5-mysql, but pretty close:
This command will install generic support for MSSQL (based on sybase):
aptitude install php5-sybase
Some of the mssql functions are missing in the above package, so you'd need to run this:
pear install --nodeps MDB2_Driver_mssql
Tested on Ubuntu 8.04 and 10.04 LTS.
I've noticed that there is php5-mssql available in 10.04+, I haven't tried it, but the above steps can probably be replaced with that package.
