So I was able to get the extension working.  Here was my fix:

I replaced my php_mssql.dll file with a download from:
http://kromann.info/download.php?strFolder=php5_1-Release_TS&strIndex=PHP5_1

and everything worked perfectly.  Any ideas what the problem was with my
original php_mssql.dll file?

Thanks,
andrew
