**Welcome to the Microsoft Drivers for PHP for Microsoft SQL Server**
The Microsoft Drivers for PHP for Microsoft SQL Server are PHP extensions that allow for the reading and writing of SQL Server data from within PHP scripts. The SQLSRV extension provides a procedural interface while the PDO_SQLSRV extension implements PHP Data Objects (PDO) for accessing data in all editions of SQL Server 2012 and later (including Azure SQL DB). These drivers rely on the [Microsoft ODBC Driver for SQL Server][odbcdoc] to handle the low-level communication with SQL Server.
