PHP and mssql

Hi There,

I wrote a whole Extranet in PHP / MSSQL last year (not on codeigniter)....

I didn't find issues with connecting and using mssql only installing php on IIS....Codeigniter has support for mssql (i think) as does php, and it works in the same way as mysql i.e. mssql_connect, mssql_query, mssql_fetch_array

There were only a couple of things i found, when you have a database lets say for an email address, and you set it to a varchar of 200, in mysql if the email was 50, it would only return 50 characters to you, however in mssql it would return the whole 200.

Apart from these minor issues, there was really no other difference in the general working...
