Trouble installing the PHP PDO driver for MSSQL on Windows and Xampp
asked on
Hello,
I'm having trouble connecting with MSSQL on Xampp/Windows
(dev local server connecting to a distant DB (MSSQL 2005)).
The following Connection string work fine :
'odbc:DRIVER={SQL Server}; SERVER=' . SQLSRV_IP . ',' . SQLSRV_PORT . ';DATABASE=' . SQLSRV_DBNAME
so I don't think it have anything to do with DB rights or firewall but
'mssql:host=' . SQLSRV_IP . ';dbname=' . SQLSRV_DBNAME, SQLSRV_USER, SQLSRV_PWD
give me the following error message : 'could not find driver'.
I've search the web and stumble upon the following link by MS (which I hope is the latest version)
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=80e44913-24b4-4113-8807-caae6cf2ca05
I've installed the 4 .dll in /php/ext/ and added the following line in PHP.ini
extension=php_pdo_sqlsrv_5
extension=php_sqlsrv_53_ts
but it still don't work (loading any other .dll give me various errors on apache startup)
Could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong or give me step by step instruction ?
I'm fairly new working with anything else than MySQL or PostgreSQL.
Thank you and kind regards.
