So far, all my database programming in php has been with a mysql database.
I need to connect to a SQL Server database. I looked in the manual and it
seemed rather easy. It seemed that all I had to do was replace mysql with
mssql everywhere I had coded before.

So, naturally, on my first call which was to mssql_pconnect I received the
following message:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mssql_pconnect()

Now I must say that php was not previously installed on this server. I had
the admin fellow install it (and this was his first time). Are the
database routines some sort of additional installation that simply haven't
been installed?

Thanks for any help
