Hi,

Recently tried compiling PHP4 with Sybase support, and discovered that
this just did not work. After some hunting around, I traced it down to
the databases/freetds compilation option which has:

     --with-tdsver=7.0

According to the freetds docs, tdsver=4.2 works with M$ SQL Server and
Sybase (version < 10); tdsver=5.0 works only with Sybase; tdsver=7.0 only
works with M$SQL Server.

I tweaked the build option to tdsver=5.0, and PHP functions as expected.

Would it be possible to request a change to freetds build so that the
port builds 3 versions of the freetds library with the tds-protocol as
the suffix (eg libtds4.2, libtds5.0, libtds7.0). The installed include
files are common for all the 3 versions of the protocol. This way the
PHP port would check for libct5.0 & libtds5.0 during its build.

Cheers,

Jonathan Chen
