SQL Server Driver for PHP
I've probably suggested/asked this before, but will future v3 of HelpSpot, for windows, support the Microsoft SQL Server Driver for PHP instead of the old deprecated: ntwdblib.dll ?

Hi Johnny,
We've only looked at it a little bit. The database abstraction library we use (adodb) does support it but those drivers for it are fairly new as is the library itself really. Also it's unknown what MS's plans will be long term for it and we'd hate to introduce support for something which is then dropped by MS a year down the road.
I don't think this could be added in 3.0 as there's already a lot going on there, but I've put this down for further research following v3's initial release so we can get better acquainted with it and see what might be possible.
