Need Help Compiling PHP5 With MS SQL Support

I am new to Linux and have NEVER compiled PHP. I have PHP 5 and need to
compile it with MS SQL support. Per PHP docs, I installed FreeTDS and tested
it and it works. Now I need to (re)compile PHP to get the support I need to
access MS SQL databases. I am on a Ubuntu 6.06 version of Linux.

Again, PLEASE keep in mind that I am new to all of this. I tread VERY softly
doing this! (I am on a VMWare virtual server and have made a clone drive as
a backup.)

Am I correct that my first step is to see what is already compiled into my
version of PHP using php -m? I have that list.

I assume that my next step is to get the PHP source for PHP 5.1.4. From
here on I do not understand clearly by reading the docs I have searched for
on the Internet through Google. Is there a place that has a VERY clear, step
by step process to compile PHP?

Any and all help is GREATLY appreciated.

TIA.

Mike

The install file in the tarball is pretty good.

Basically:

../configure --with-all-of-your-options

when that finishes,

make

when that finishes,

make install

once that's complete, you should just be able to restart your webserver.

Since you're on Ubuntu, I reckon this kind of explains what you want to
do (at least if you want to keep using Ubuntu packages):
