Laravel 9 (sqlsrv) could not find driver - php

Question

I have this issue with trying to connect MS SQL server from laravel project to get some data from table MECommssion I have created the command name test.php in the handle function of the below code
* Execute the console command.
*
* #return int
*/
public function handle()
{
$crmData = DB::connection('core')->table('dbo.MECommssion')->get();
dd($crmData);
}
In config/database.php
'core' => [
'driver' => env('DB_CONNECTION_SYNTELLICORE'),
'host' => env('DB_HOST_SYNTELLICORE'),
'port' => env('DB_PORT_SYNTELLICORE'),
'database' => env('DB_DATABASE_SYNTELLICORE'),
'username' => env('DB_USERNAME_SYNTELLICORE'),
'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD_SYNTELLICORE'),
'charset' => 'utf8',
'prefix' => '',
'prefix_indexes' => true,
],
In .env I have add the login
DB_CONNECTION_SYNTELLICORE=sqlsrv
DB_HOST_SYNTELLICORE=192.168.4.59
DB_PORT_SYNTELLICORE=1433
DB_DATABASE_SYNTELLICORE=test
DB_USERNAME_SYNTELLICORE=MSSB
DB_PASSWORD_SYNTELLICORE=mypassword
Every time I call the command I got this error in terminal
Illuminate\Database\QueryException
could not find driver (SQL: select * from [dbo].[MECommssion])

PDOException::("could not find driver")
2 E:\laragon\www\InfoPortal\Backoffice\vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Database\Connectors\Connector.php:70
PDO::__construct("dblib:host=192.168.4.59:1433;dbname=test;charset=utf8", "MSSB", "mypassword", [])
What I trying to do is
1- install ODBC drivers 11, 17 and 18.
2- adding DLL extension for PHP 8.1.10php_pdo_sqlsrv_81_ts_x64 and php_sqlsrv_81_ts_x64.dll and enable the extension from php.ini.
3- restart the server.
4- restart the machine.
5- For every change in .env I re-clear the catch.
6- trying the connection in a separate PHP file use PDO out of laravel project below code it is working with no problem and it shows data.
<?php
$servername = "192.168.4.59,1433";
$username = "MSSB";
$password = "mypassword";
try {
$conn = new PDO("sqlsrv:Server={$servername};Database=test", $username, $password);
// set the PDO error mode to exception
$conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
$stmt = $conn->query("SELECT * FROM dbo.MECommssion");
$user = $stmt->fetch();
print_r($user);
echo "Connected successfully";
}
catch(PDOException $e)
{
echo "Connection failed: ". $e->getMessage();
}
7- install laragon server on another machine and install the new laravel project same version 9 and create the same command and try the same thing in the new project it is working normally with no problem.
8- composer dump autoload
This is all that I tried, I have no idea why the project did not read the drive sqlsrv while the separate PHP file can connect and get the data.
I would appreciate any help you can provide.

Answer 1

Thanks for help.
I have found the problem it was in the composer
PHP version was running PHP in the WAMP server on the same machine, after removing the WAMP server and re-install the composer in laragon server in PHP 8.1.10 folder, Now all working fine
