Do not use the MSSQL functions -- they fucking suck, filled with errors 
and you'll struggle to get long text values out of fields over 255 
characters in length.    I beat my head on them for weeks before I 
abandoned MS SQL Server as a PHP database.  ADOdb is leaking as Chung 
Leong said but the ODBC functions are now performing well for me ..... 
they appear to be the only stable alternative. 
 
If you are using the MS SQL Server functions you supposidly bypass the 
255 character issue however you'll need some extra software to install 
and I never managed to get them running. 
 
It is worth noting that this is not the fault of PHP but the SQL Server 
itself -- you can trip similar issues using ASP.
