I have a server running CentOS 6.2 with Plesk 10.4. When I SSH in, and try and install ms-sql extension it says "No package php-mssql available."

I can't seem to find much on Google for this, and I am a bit of a Linux noob. Can anyone offer any help?

EDIT: I tried installing it using "yum install php-mssql"

php-mssql is in EPEL.

How would I install EPEL in CentOS 6.2? "If you are running an EL6 version ,please visit here to get the newest 'epel-release' package for EL6: The newest version of 'epel-release' for EL6" How would I know if I am running EL6? –  izip May 9 '12 at 21:59
It goes by the major number of the distro version. Hence, CentOS 6.2 is EL6. –  Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams May 9 '12 at 22:01
