Good afternoon,
I need php5-mssql, but I couldn’t find it in the repos. System is
actualized, when I tried to install php5-devel from SDK DVD, system ask
want to downgrade my php with other dependent libs. So what are your
suggestions or recommendations ? PHP version updated from NCC, version
php5-5.2.14-0.7.13.1 (why is there old version of PHP, it is 5.3.x
now).
Thanks a lot and best regards
J.Karliak

Hi
For SLE generally there are no ‘feature’ updates only security fixes, unless there are other issues. If you look at the changelog, you will find security fixes have been backported from newer versions.
So unless there are specific features your needing in 5.3, then you would need to use an unsupported version from the Open Build Service;

Is there any support at all for php53-mssql ?
Is there any unofficial support for php53-mssql ?
I’m working a VuFind installatoin, and need to connect to a sybase database with php53-mssql. I would hate to have to use a RHEL system to do this.

Hi
There is a build here of php5-mssql but only 5.2
[http://software.opensuse.org/search?q=php5-mssql&baseproject=SUSE%3ASLE-11&lang=en&include\_home=true&exclude\_debug=true](http://software.opensuse.org/search?q=php5-mssql&baseproject=SUSE%3ASLE-11&lang=en&include_home=true&exclude_debug=true)
You would need to ask the repository maintainer to publish it for SLE 11

Good morning,
after upgrade to 5.3.x I could use php5-mssql from opensuse 11.4 (I think). But ut is better to get php5.3.10 source, unzip extension mssql and built it from this source.
Or - if you get src.rpm for opensuse 11.4 of the php5.3 with mssql, you could rebuild it to rpm for sles

Hi
Much better to use a src rpm (or use the Open Build Service) as there
could be security patches included.

Yes, I agree :). But not always you find src.rpm :-/
