Sometime back in July or August Microsoft
slipped out a driver for PHP 5 on windows . It uses the SQL Native Client which
means that it also supports automatic transparent client redirect. Change this connection
info array from:
$connectionInfo = array("Database"=>"AdventureWorks",
"UID"=>"sa",

Yeah I know it’s old news, but being able to step into and debug the .NET Framework
source code really does rock my world. I had a customer today who was getting a FileIOPermission
exception caused by code like this:
FileInfo fi = new FileInfo(uploadedFile.PostedFile.FileName);
// Exception thrown here
