A PHP CMS using SQL Server... or roll my own in Codeigniter?

Hi guys

We have a requirement from a client to develop a micro site using SQL Server as the db, but which can use PHP (on IIS).

I'd prefer just to take an off-the-shelf system and go down that route just to save time, so does anybody have a suggestion for a good PHP/SQL Server CMS combo?

Otherwise I'll roll my own in CI.

Thanks,

Dan.

Joomla (fork of Mambo) and Drupal seem to be the most common PHP CMSs, I'd be very suprised if they didn't work with MSSQL

PHP Fusion, it's so many years since I've used it, but it worked perfectly back then. Although I guess Joomla is one of the most popular at the moment. Both have a lot of extra stuff for download etc.

Yeah amazingly Joomla doesn't support SQL Server out of the box and I don't want to rely on a non-core driver.

I think Drupal does support it, so will check that.

Thanks,

Dan.

Based on the list on wikipedia you don't have much choice...

The CI based one which keeps coming up on the forums (Prymo or something) will probably support MSSQL as CI does
