Linux and macOS Installation Tutorial for the Microsoft Drivers for PHP for SQL Server

The following instructions assume a clean environment and show how to install PHP 7.x, the Microsoft ODBC driver, Apache, and the Microsoft Drivers for PHP for SQL Server on Ubuntu 16.04, 18.04, and 18.10, RedHat 7, Debian 8 and 9, Suse 12, and macOS 10.11, 10.12, 10.13, and 10.14. These instructions advise installing the drivers using PECL, but you can also download the prebuilt binaries from the Microsoft Drivers for PHP for SQL Server Github project page and install them following the instructions in Loading the Microsoft Drivers for PHP for SQL Server. For an explanation of extension loading and why we do not add the extensions to php.ini, see the section on loading the drivers.

These instructions install PHP 7.2 by default -- see the notes at the beginning of each section to install PHP 7.0 or 7.1.

Contents of this page:

Installing the drivers on Ubuntu 16.04, 18.04, and 18.10
Installing the drivers on Red Hat 7
Installing the drivers on Debian 8 and 9
Installing the drivers on Suse 12
Installing the drivers on macOS El Capitan, Sierra, High Sierra, and Mojave

Installing the drivers on Ubuntu 16.04, 18.04, and 18.10

Note

To install PHP 7.0, 7.1, or 7.3, replace 7.2 with 7.0, 7.1, or 7.3 in the following commands.

Step 1. Install PHP

sudo su
add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php -y
apt-get update
apt-get install php7.2 php7.2-dev php7.2-xml -y --allow-unauthenticated

Step 2. Install prerequisites

Install the ODBC driver for Ubuntu by following the instructions on the Linux and macOS installation page.

For Ubuntu 18.10, follow the above steps for Ubuntu 18.04 except replace 18.04 by 18.10 and download ODBC 17.3 preview here.

Step 3. Install the PHP drivers for Microsoft SQL Server

Note

If using PHP 7.3, replace sqlsrv and pdo_sqlsrv in the following commands with sqlsrv-5.4.0preview and pdo_sqlsrv-5.4.0preview or later, as earlier versions are not compatible with PHP 7.3.

sudo pecl install sqlsrv
sudo pecl install pdo_sqlsrv
sudo su
echo extension=pdo_sqlsrv.so >> `php --ini | grep "Scan for additional .ini files" | sed -e "s|.*:\s*||"`/30-pdo_sqlsrv.ini
echo extension=sqlsrv.so >> `php --ini | grep "Scan for additional .ini files" | sed -e "s|.*:\s*||"`/20-sqlsrv.ini
exit

Step 4. Install Apache and configure driver loading

sudo su
apt-get install libapache2-mod-php7.2 apache2
a2dismod mpm_event
a2enmod mpm_prefork
a2enmod php7.2
echo "extension=pdo_sqlsrv.so" >> /etc/php/7.2/apache2/conf.d/30-pdo_sqlsrv.ini
echo "extension=sqlsrv.so" >> /etc/php/7.2/apache2/conf.d/20-sqlsrv.ini
exit

Step 5. Restart Apache and test the sample script

sudo service apache2 restart

To test your installation, see Testing your installation at the end of this document.

Installing the drivers on Red Hat 7

Note

To install PHP 7.0, 7.1, or 7.3, replace remi-php72 with remi-php70, remi-php71, or remi-php73 respectively in the following commands.

Step 1. Install PHP

sudo su
wget https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
wget https://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm
rpm -Uvh remi-release-7.rpm epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-7-server-optional-rpms
yum install yum-utils
yum-config-manager --enable remi-php72
yum update
yum install php php-pdo php-xml php-pear php-devel re2c gcc-c++ gcc

Step 2. Install prerequisites

Install the ODBC driver for Red Hat 7 by following the instructions on the Linux and macOS installation page.

Compiling the PHP drivers with PECL with PHP 7.2 requires a more recent GCC than the default:

sudo yum-config-manager --enable rhel-server-rhscl-7-rpms
sudo yum install devtoolset-7
scl enable devtoolset-7 bash

Step 3. Install the PHP drivers for Microsoft SQL Server

Note

If using PHP 7.3, replace sqlsrv and pdo_sqlsrv in the following commands with sqlsrv-5.4.0preview and pdo_sqlsrv-5.4.0preview or later, as earlier versions are not compatible with PHP 7.3.

sudo pecl install sqlsrv
sudo pecl install pdo_sqlsrv
sudo su
echo extension=pdo_sqlsrv.so >> `php --ini | grep "Scan for additional .ini files" | sed -e "s|.*:\s*||"`/30-pdo_sqlsrv.ini
echo extension=sqlsrv.so >> `php --ini | grep "Scan for additional .ini files" | sed -e "s|.*:\s*||"`/20-sqlsrv.ini
exit

An issue in PECL may prevent correct installation of the latest version of the drivers even if you have upgraded GCC. To install, download the packages and compile manually (similar steps for pdo_sqlsrv):

pecl download sqlsrv
tar xvzf sqlsrv-5.3.0.tgz
cd sqlsrv-5.3.0/
phpize
./configure --with-php-config=/usr/bin/php-config
make
sudo make install

You can alternatively download the prebuilt binaries from the Github project page, or install from the Remi repo:

sudo yum install php-sqlsrv

Step 4. Install Apache

sudo yum install httpd

SELinux is installed by default and runs in Enforcing mode. To allow Apache to connect to databases through SELinux, run the following command:

sudo setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect_db 1

Step 5. Restart Apache and test the sample script

sudo apachectl restart

To test your installation, see Testing your installation at the end of this document.

Installing the drivers on Debian 8 and 9

Note

To install PHP 7.0, 7.1, or 7.3, replace 7.2 with 7.0, 7.1, or 7.3 in the following commands.

Step 1. Install PHP

sudo su
apt-get install curl apt-transport-https
wget -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/php.gpg https://packages.sury.org/php/apt.gpg
echo "deb https://packages.sury.org/php/ $(lsb_release -sc) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/php.list
apt-get update
apt-get install -y php7.2 php7.2-dev php7.2-xml

Step 2. Install prerequisites

Install the ODBC driver for Debian by following the instructions on the Linux and macOS installation page.

You may also need to generate the correct locale to get PHP output to display correctly in a browser. For example, for the en_US UTF-8 locale, run the following commands:

sudo su
sed -i 's/# en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8/g' /etc/locale.gen
locale-gen

Step 3. Install the PHP drivers for Microsoft SQL Server

Note

If using PHP 7.3, replace sqlsrv and pdo_sqlsrv in the following commands with sqlsrv-5.4.0preview and pdo_sqlsrv-5.4.0preview or later, as earlier versions are not compatible with PHP 7.3.

sudo pecl install sqlsrv
sudo pecl install pdo_sqlsrv
sudo su
echo extension=pdo_sqlsrv.so >> `php --ini | grep "Scan for additional .ini files" | sed -e "s|.*:\s*||"`/30-pdo_sqlsrv.ini
echo extension=sqlsrv.so >> `php --ini | grep "Scan for additional .ini files" | sed -e "s|.*:\s*||"`/20-sqlsrv.ini
exit

Step 4. Install Apache and configure driver loading

sudo su
apt-get install libapache2-mod-php7.2 apache2
a2dismod mpm_event
a2enmod mpm_prefork
a2enmod php7.2
echo "extension=pdo_sqlsrv.so" >> /etc/php/7.2/apache2/conf.d/30-pdo_sqlsrv.ini
echo "extension=sqlsrv.so" >> /etc/php/7.2/apache2/conf.d/20-sqlsrv.ini

Step 5. Restart Apache and test the sample script

sudo service apache2 restart

To test your installation, see Testing your installation at the end of this document.

exit

Step 5. Restart Apache and test the sample script

sudo systemctl restart apache2

To test your installation, see Testing your installation at the end of this document.

Installing the drivers on macOS El Capitan, Sierra, High Sierra, and Mojave

If you do not already have it, install brew as follows:

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Note

To install PHP 7.0, 7.1, or 7.3, replace php@7.2 with php@7.0, php@7.1, or php@7.3 respectively in the following commands.

Step 1. Install PHP

brew tap
brew tap homebrew/core
brew install php@7.2

PHP should now be in your path -- run php -v to verify that you are running the correct version of PHP. If PHP is not in your path or it is not the correct version, run the following:

brew link --force --overwrite php@7.2

Step 2. Install prerequisites

Install the ODBC driver for macOS by following the instructions on the Linux and macOS installation page.

In addition, you may need to install the GNU make tools:

brew install autoconf automake libtool

Step 3. Install the PHP drivers for Microsoft SQL Server

Note

If using PHP 7.3, replace sqlsrv and pdo_sqlsrv in the following commands with sqlsrv-5.4.0preview and pdo_sqlsrv-5.4.0preview or later, as earlier versions are not compatible with PHP 7.3.

sudo pecl install sqlsrv
sudo pecl install pdo_sqlsrv

Step 4. Install Apache and configure driver loading

brew install apache2

To find the Apache configuration file for your Apache installation, run

apachectl -V | grep SERVER_CONFIG_FILE

and substitute the path for httpd.conf in the following commands:

echo "LoadModule php7_module /usr/local/opt/php@7.2/lib/httpd/modules/libphp7.so" >> /usr/local/etc/httpd/httpd.conf
(echo "<FilesMatch .php$>"; echo "SetHandler application/x-httpd-php"; echo "</FilesMatch>";) >> /usr/local/etc/httpd/httpd.conf

Step 5. Restart Apache and test the sample script

sudo apachectl restart

To test your installation, see Testing your installation at the end of this document.

Testing Your Installation

To test this sample script, create a file called testsql.php in your system's document root. This is /var/www/html/ on Ubuntu, Debian, and Redhat, /srv/www/htdocs on SUSE, or /usr/local/var/www on macOS. Copy the following script to it, replacing the server, database, username, and password as appropriate.

<?php
$serverName = "yourServername";
$connectionOptions = array(
    "database" => "yourDatabase",
    "uid" => "yourUsername",
    "pwd" => "yourPassword"
);

// Establishes the connection
$conn = sqlsrv_connect($serverName, $connectionOptions);
if ($conn === false) {
    die(formatErrors(sqlsrv_errors()));
}

// Select Query
$tsql = "SELECT @@Version AS SQL_VERSION";

// Executes the query
$stmt = sqlsrv_query($conn, $tsql);

// Error handling
if ($stmt === false) {
    die(formatErrors(sqlsrv_errors()));
}
?>

<h1> Results : </h1>

<?php
while ($row = sqlsrv_fetch_array($stmt, SQLSRV_FETCH_ASSOC)) {
    echo $row['SQL_VERSION'] . PHP_EOL;
}

sqlsrv_free_stmt($stmt);
sqlsrv_close($conn);

function formatErrors($errors)
{
    // Display errors
    echo "Error information: <br/>";
    foreach ($errors as $error) {
        echo "SQLSTATE: ". $error['SQLSTATE'] . "<br/>";
        echo "Code: ". $error['code'] . "<br/>";
        echo "Message: ". $error['message'] . "<br/>";
    }
}
?>

Point your browser to https://localhost/testsql.php (https://localhost:8080/testsql.php on macOS). You should now be able to connect to your SQL Server/Azure SQL database.
