[CentOS-devel] php 5 and MSSQL

Is there any interest in adding MSSQL to php 5? It's fairly easy to modify the spec to produce this (I've done so in a previos version already), and I'll volunteer to make the changes if there's consensus it's worth doing.

FreeTDS is required to build mssql support, and it's currently provided through rpmforge. I assume everyone would prefer to have the required library exist within centosplus so php-mssql could be installed without requiring a library from an external repo?

So, what are your thoughts on this? I know I keep getting asked for it, so I assume there's at least some demand.
