Microsoft NATIVE SQL Server Driver for PHP

Discussion in 'Suggestions and Feedback' started by haydenm315, Nov 28, 2011.

  1. I'd like to suggest the installation of Microsoft's native SQLSRV driver extension for PHP. This driver is more current and much more robust than the no longer developed community based MSSQL driver.

    I have been evaluating CMS projects recently. I noticed that Drupal 7 supports Microsoft SQL server. Since I already have an sql server package on my account I became hopeful. All hopes were dashed when I realized that DiscountASP doesn't have the required PHP database extention installed.

    The driver can be found below. Installation PHP extensions is trivial.
    1. Put the dll in the extensions directory
    2. Add the line for the correct driver to the php.ini.
    3. Restart the web server

    this driver should be installed on all our iis7 servers.
     
  3. I think you are referring to the SQL PDO drivers, correct? If that is the case than I'm afraid that is not installed on the server.
     
  4. Is this planning on being added or has it been added? Was interested in trying SQL with Drupal 7.


    Edit**. Never mind. I see in another post that it has been added.
