I need to find a hosting company that provides a LAMP stack, the P being PHP.
Finding that is pretty easy, but I have a further requirement of unixODBC and FreeTDS or some equilant.
The project will require a remote connection to a Microsoft SQL 2005 database.
Most of the project will use a local MySQL database but it also requires data from a remote MS SQL 2005 database.
In my reading it looks like I'll need unixODBC and FreeTDS installed on the server to make that connection. So far I've been unable to find a shared host that provides these.
Can anyone suggest or use a host that might work? The project has budget limits so we we're hoping to find a shared host.
I would say near 0 chance. The requirements are pretty unusual, so mass hosting will not fullfill them. Try going for a well priced virtual server... that gives you the option to install yourself. or go windows hosting (WAMP) - shoult not make a difference and the price may be better than the virtual hosting (plus overhead of self administration) and obviously you have Odbc there if you insist on it (better use oledb).
I was able to find a host that has unixODBC and freetds configured and installed with PHP in a shared host. The company is Modwest hosting.

I just started learning PHP through online videos, I have also installed notepad ++ but I am not able to installed XAMPP due to security concern as I am using the company-provided laptop,
is there any way to do practice and run my PHP program without install XAMPP
First of all, PHP is a standalone program:
PS C:\> php -r 'echo PHP_VERSION;'
7.4.5
XAMPP is just a third-party package that bundles together several famous programs written by other people. You can always get any of those programs (PHP included) from each of the official web sites.
If you mean you want to use PHP to build web applications but you aren't allowed to install a web server, you may have a couple of options:
Use PHP builtin server
Find out if your Windows edition includes IIS
If you mean that you aren't allowed to run any kind of third-party software, you're out of luck: PHP itself is software and it's third-party.
In any case: if your company is asking your to learn PHP, they should provide you with the necessary tools. If you're doing it on your own, know you're probably violating company rules anyway.
You need to have a local installed webserver. With XAMPP on your device you just have a nice tool for learning. Running a productive Application with critical data on it, would be not smart.

I want to develop a webpage and have it connected to SQL server to transport data in and out. I am certain that I will have to use PHP. The question is, do I need a specific platform for PHP or it can be done on any text edit like HTML,JAVA etc.
thanks
Rajat
You seem like quite a beginner, so I'll give you somewhere to start.
What do we need?
A webserver (Local or hosted somewhere)
A platform to receive and process HTTP requests - E.g. Apache / Nginx / etc
A web processing language - PHP / Django / etc
A SQL server e.g. MySQL
What should you do?
Download WAMPSERVER on your PC and learn the basics of how this all works. Your site won't be instantly viewable online, but you can learn how to code and you can deal with a local MySQL database with an apache and php backend.
You have to install wampserver for database setup and Netbeans IDE for editing the PHP code. Netbeans also helped If you are using java. You have to install JDK first for installing netbeans. If you don't want to install netbeans, SublimeText is best editor for PHP.

New servers of HostGator India are supporting PHP 5.4.36 only. I need to upgrade to PHP 5.5 manually by me. How can I do that?
You can't. HostGator, and most other shared hosting providers, do not allow you to install software on their servers. You would need to upgrade to a virtual private server (VPS) or a dedicated server where you can control the software installed.
Some providers run multiple versions of PHP allowing you to choose which one your site uses. You should ask if they offer this.
If HostGator India doesn't allow the switching of PHP versions, there is no way to update it "manually". If you need that version, consider switching hosting providers. You might want to contact HostGator support and check with them first - they may make an exception, but it's unlikely.

I have a Windows XP Pro SP3 computer that I want to run mySQL on for testing with PHP.
Seems that mySQL 5..5.4 from dev.mysql.com is the last to support XP and I wanted to know if this is the best version I should use.
Also I need a management system like msSQL2008 comes with that will allow me to create, edit and export the databases and tables to my hosted platform.
I am running ColdFusion 9, msSQL2008 and PHP (XAMPP Apache).
Thanks in advance.
I can't add just a comment because i don't have enough reputation points, but if you're running XAMPP that comes with PHP myAdmin which will be what you want for the second part of your question. As for the first part, i don't know what version of MySQL will work best on XP, but are you sure you're not already running MySQL as part of XAMPP? Thats what the M stands for in XAMPP! Load up the XMAPP control panel and check.
You can use MySQL Workbench, which is a proper Desktop program for interfacing with MySQL. I don't know about whats supported on Windows XP anymore, though sometimes it's more to do with the fact that Microsoft have stopped supporting Windows XP and so no one else is going to support it. I would maybe think of upgrading your OS.
also this isn't really a SO question.

Installing roundcube webmail: I have the DB set up (win serv 2008, MS SQL 2008 - though even that was a battle!) i can navigate to the installer but when I go to set up everything there is no SQL Server option in the list of DBs?
Anyone got any idea what thats all about? I can see MySql, MySqli and PgSql but no MSSQL.
Roundcube installer doesn't detect mssql!
Select with mysql option while you are install ms sql driver for php.
there is a complete installation guide http://www.ifunky.net/Blog/post/How-To-Install-RoundCube-With-hMailServer-and-Windows-2008-IIS7.aspx
Make sure you've activated the MSSQL extension in your php.ini. I don't know this script, but often installers first detect which database extensions are available and let you only use these.
So find your php.ini and search it for something like this:
extension=msql.dll
If you can't find the line, add it to the file (maybe restart your webserver) and try again.
It's because Roundcube Installer doesn't detect MSSQL, but you can install/run it without Installer.
