Hello guys i was trying to help a guy who write in original thread that there is dead link, it was 1 week old post but anyway my answer was deleted due to necro posting.It's an old tutorial...anyway here it is.I'm sure there is some use of this there is bunch of stuff on RZ that relly on mssql functions so, here it is.

Clean version of WAMP + newest add-on of php:
WampServer2.0i and WampServer2-PHP531

Original thread with working links for theese two:
http://forum.ragezone.com/f724/get-wamp-work-mssql-673301/

Working link for ntwdblib.dll version 2000.80.194.0:


How to use :

1)* Install WAMP
2) Install latest php addon.
Dont do anything with ntwdblib.dll YET!
3) Click on the WAMP icon -> PHP -> Version and select 5.3.1.
4) Click on the WAMP icon -> PHP -> PHP Extensions then check php_mssql and php_pdo_mssql.
(Wamp will restart and give you few errors, ignore them)
5) Restart WAMP one more time to ensure settings are saved.
6) Finally, place ntwdblib file in the two following directories:
wamp\bin\php\php5.3.1
wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.11\bin
7) Restart wampserver, and you're finished!

---------------
*1) SKIP THIS STEP IF YOU ALREADY GOT WAMP INSTALLED

Your finished, and hopefully now php will be happy to talk to mssql :)


Since the original author deleted the guide, I decided to bring it back :)
Based on original but cleaned-up guide by Alexsh.

Cheers.

Wamp is just the package holding the real programs. Apache is just fine, nothing wrong with it. Not saying there are no alternatives, or that alternatives are bad or worse than apache, but apache is just a fine webserver.
