#Microsoft Drivers for PHP for SQL Server
|
||||
|
||||
**Welcome to the Microsoft Drivers for PHP for SQL Server project!**
|
||||
|
||||
The Microsoft Drivers for PHP for SQL Server are PHP 5 extensions that allow for the reading and writing of SQL Server data from within PHP scripts. The release contains two drivers, the SQLSRV driver and the PDO_SQLSRV driver. The SQLSRV extension provides a procedural interface while the PDO_SQLSRV extension implements PDO for accessing data in all editions of SQL Server 2005 and later (including SQL Azure). These drivers rely on the Microsoft ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server to handle the low-level communication with SQL Server.
|
||||
**Note:** For the PHP 7 project, see the PHP7 branch
|
||||
|
||||
Microsoft has published the source code to the driver on this site. With each successive update, we will revisit this plan. We've seen too many projects over-reach in their plans to be responsive to the community. We would prefer to start with a more conservative approach and make sure we're successfully delivering on that before expanding. We understand that many developers will download the source code to create their own build(s) of the driver. However, Microsoft supports only the Microsoft signed versions of the driver.

Announcements
|
||||
- **Jan 29, 2016:** A PHP7 branch is now active for the Alpha/Preview supporting PHP 7
|
||||
- Please visit the blog for more announcements
|
||||
|
||||
Please visit the [blog][blog] for more announcements.
|
||||
|
||||
## Prerequisites
|
||||
|
||||
You must first be able to build PHP without including these
|
||||
extensions. For help with doing this, see the [official PHP website][phpweb].
|
||||
|
||||
## Build
|
||||
|
||||
To compile the SQLSRV and PDO_SQLSRV:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Copy the source code directories from this repository into the ext
|
||||
subdirectory.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Run buildconf.bat to rebuild the configure.js script to include the
|
||||
new drivers.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Run "cscript configure.js --enable-sqlsrv=shared --enable-pdo
|
||||
--with-pdo-sqlsrv=shared [other options]" to generate the makefile.
|
||||
Run "cscript configure.js --help" to see what other options are
|
||||
available. It is possible (and even probable) that other extensions
|
||||
will have to be disabled or enabled for the compile to succeed.
|
||||
Search bing.com for configurations that have worked for other people.
|
||||
* It might be possible to compile these extensions as non-shared but that configuration has not been tested.
|
||||
* NB: To build the driver with PHP 5.6.7 and later, you will need to specify the --with-odbcver=0x0380 argument to configure.js
|
||||
|
||||
4. Run "nmake". It is suggested that you run the entire build. If you
|
||||
wish to do so, run "nmake clean" first.
|
||||
|
||||
5. To install the resulting build, run "nmake install" or just copy
|
||||
php_sqlsrv.dll and php_pdo_sqlsrv.dll to your PHP extension directory.
|
||||
Also enable them within your PHP installation's php.ini file.
|
||||
|
||||
This software has been compiled and tested under PHP 5.4.32 and later
|
||||
using the Visual C++ 2008 and 2012, Express and Standard compilers.
|
||||
|
||||
