Discovered more information:
I changed my code from using
$dbh = DB::connect("mssql://sa:password@192.168.0.1/northwind"); to
simply using the freetds connection
putenv("FREETDSCONF=/etc/freetds.conf");
$db=mssql_connect("MyServer2k","sa","password");
(freetds.conf setting)
[MyServer2k]
host = 192.168.0.1
port = 1433
tds version = 8.0
when the script runs now I get this error:
Warning: mssql_query() [function.mssql-query]: WARNING! Some
character(s) could not be converted into client's character set.
Unconverted bytes were changed to question marks ('?'). (severity 16)
in /var/www/test/testing/index.php on line 31
Same problem just wanted to add to it for other to see.
