I believe PHP has support for Progess and Informix, though I've never looked closely. MS-SQL is the tricky one. Currently, the only non-ODBC way to talk to MS-SQL is with Sybase ct-lib drivers. (Search for FreeTDS for an upcoming alternative.) Problem is, ct-lib isn't available for FreeBSD. Sybase did release a Linux ct-lib some years ago, but it's old enough that it doesn't work right on some versions of Linux anymore. In theory, you could compile a Linux binary of PHP and link it with that library, but I haven't tried. > Is there a way to > convert Linux object libraries to link into FreeBSD programs? I'm told that it's possible to set up FreeBSD as a Linux development environment, and directly compile Linux binaries (which can be linked with Linux libraries). However, I haven't a clue how to do this. Good luck!
