Sybase problems

Hi there,

I have a Win 2k3 webserver running IIS 6.0 and PHP 5.2.0 and Zend Optimizer 3.2.0. Everything works cool on that server. The webserver runs a website that connects to a SQL server database on another machine, that works fine from PHP. The database on the SQL server works with the mssql_* functions - all is good.

The problem I am having is that I need to connect to another machine that has a Sybase database on it. I have tried to enable the php_sybase_ct.dll module in my php.ini file but as soon as I do that my webserver crashes and will not start up.

I need to connect to the Sybase server (there are no firewalls or any other network problems because I can connect using iSQL client tools).

Does anyone know how I can get the sybase_* functions working easily on my webserver, of if there is any other good / easy alternative?

Please help
