Yikes, that file was removed in 2008. Probably shows how often anyone reads that!

We should probably reword that section to cover whatever the currently recommended way of accessing SQL Server from *nix is (which I don't actually know — ODBC? pdo_dblib?).

Will we be able to restore that, it's a tar from php-web.

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.

Perhaps the frequently asked questions are not asked that
frequently?
