We currently use the php-mssql package (in conjunction with FreeTDS)
for our setup.
In other languages connecting to MSSQL we have come to rely on the
Application Name being visible in Traces and the MSSQL profiler.
In PHP it gets hard coded to 'PHP 5' even if there are multiple PHP
applications connecting to the database.
We have submitted a patch to add the ability for you to set the
application name in the mssql_connect/mssql_pconnect function as an
additional / optional parameter.
This has been working great for us, so we wanted to see if we could
contribute it back.
Please let me know if there is any other information or anything else
we could do to improve the patch/bug submission so that we can use
this as a learning experience and improve future submissions.

We have a few more non-related features we are vetting out in
dev/production on our side prior to submitting.
Also please let me know if this email should be routed to another list.
Thanks,
