$conn = new PDO( "sqlsrv:server=$dbhost ; Database = $db", "", "" );
$stmt = $conn->prepare( $query, array(PDO::ATTR_CURSOR => PDO::CURSOR_SCROLL, PDO::SQLSRV_ATTR_CURSOR_SCROLL_TYPE => PDO::SQLSRV_CURSOR_BUFFERED, PDO::SQLSRV_ENCODING_SYSTEM) );
$stmt->execute();
while ( $row = $stmt->fetch( PDO::FETCH_ASSOC ) )
{
// CP1252 == code page Latin1
print iconv("CP1252", "ISO-8859-1", "$row[Nome] 
");
}
