I was trying different tutorials on installing the freetds, sybase and pdo for mssql but did not had any success so far (http://www.mindfiresolutions.com/Configuring-MSSQL-Server-to-talk-to-PHP-in-Ubuntu-1810.php). I was wondering if someone can give me a hand here?

    Could anyone post an updated tutorial as i'm also trying to connect to an MSSQL server. This problems with this tutorial are:

    • No such directory ‘pub/Linux/ALPHA/freetds/stable’ - but i managed to find it elsewhere
    • invalid variable name: `–prefix' - when i try to build the library and I can't progress from this
