How do I enable the Microsoft SQL extension in PHP? Step by Step

Willie duMaine, Chris A, http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mssql.php
The following instruction came from a user contributed note in Microsoft
SQL Server Functions section of PHP on-line manual
(http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mssql.php).
One note I would like to add that tds version 7.0 still works for SQL
Server 2000, but you may loose some functionality that is in version
8.0. However, I did solve some connection problems by using tds version
7.0 with SQL Server 2000. Hope this helps.
