if you can't use php_mssql module in your environment (suse linux, apache2, php5, FreeTDS, unixODBC) an alternative is to use sql server functions instead of procedures. here is my sample code.
<?php
$connect = odbc_connect($myDB, $myUser, $myPass);
$query = "SELECT dbo.<function>(<column>,<text>) alias";
// perform the query
$result = odbc_exec($connect, $query);
while(odbc_fetch_row($result)) {
$Var1 = odbc_result($result, <column alias>);
//echo "Var1: " . $Var1 . "<br>";
// add additional logic
}
?>
Once I figured this out, my app worked perfectly.
