php sqlite driver missing? - php

I am trying to connect to an existing database I created via DB browser for SQLite. It is saved as a file on my computer.
When using getAvailableDrivers, I am getting both MySQL and SQLite.
In phpinfo() I have the following entries:
PDO
PDO drivers -> MySQL, SQLite
pdo_sqlite
SQLite library -> 3.8.10.2
SQLite3
SQLite3 module version -> 0.7-dev
SQLite Library 3.9.10.2
SQLite3 extension dir -> c:\xampp\SQLite
I have written the following code to just establish connection:
<?php
phpinfo();
print_r(PDO::getAvailableDrivers());
$handler = new PDO('SQLite3:host=127.0.0.1;dbname=test', '', '');
?>
But when I try it I get the following error message:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'PDOException' with message 'could not find driver' in C:\xampp\htdocs\Ebsco\Users.php:4 Stack trace: #0 C:\xampp\htdocs\Ebsco\Users.php(4): PDO->__construct('SQLite3:host=12...', '', '') #1 {main} thrown in C:\xampp\htdocs\Ebsco\Users.php on line 4
I have searched several places online and several answers on Stack Overflow, but they did not help with a solution.
Any idea what could be causing this?
I noticed that the dir in the error message is not the same directory which I specified in the php.ini (which is also returned by phpinfo();), but I'm not sure if that is the cause, and if so what is causing it to search for the driver in that location.

PHP PDOException: could not find driver but driver is installed?

I'm running PHP 7.1 on an IIS 10.0 server and trying to connect to a MSSQL database.
Trying to instantiate a connection like this:
$dbh = new PDO("sqlsrv:Server=#server#;Database=#dbname#", "#username#", "#passwd#");
Gives me this error:
Fatal error: Uncaught PDOException: could not find driver in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\projects\test.php:6 Stack trace: #0 C:\inetpub\wwwroot\projects\test.php(6): PDO->__construct('sqlsrv:Server=...', '#username', '#pwd...') #1 {main} thrown in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\projects\test.php on line 6
However, sqlsrv is activated in my php.ini:
extension=php_sqlsrv.dll
extension=php_pdo_sqlsrv.dll
It's uncommented, and it's the right php.ini (already checked with phpinfo()). Restarting the server also didn't do anything.
I really don't understand why this is happening when the driver is obviously installed :/
What makes it extra weird is that I have another application running on the same server that also connects to a MSSQL database and it works with no problems, it had an automatic installer though so I didn't have to configure anything myself. It also connects to a local db and right now I'm trying to connect to a remote one if that makes a difference.

PDO : Uncaught PDOException: could not find driver

I'm using odbc and XAMPP. I'm receiving the fatal error of could not find driver
Fatal error: Uncaught PDOException: could not find driver in C:\xampp\htdocs\index.php:5 Stack trace: #0 C:\xampp\htdocs\index.php(5): PDO->__construct('odbc:BEGIN') #1 {main} thrown in C:\xampp\htdocs\index.php on line 5
This is the code the error refering to :
$conn = new PDO ("odbc:BEGIN");
Is there any module that I should add to the php.ini like this answer or there are other solution?
You need to enable those extensions in order to have ODBC PDO driver working
php_pdo.dll
php_odbc.dll
php_pdo_odbc.dll
After enabling those extension as #Sarhan said, we need to restart Apache in order for it to work.

[unixODBC][Driver Manager]Data source name not found, and no default driver specified

I'm updating a application to stop using 'mssql_connect' to use PDO with ODBC for PHP 7.
Locally, I'm using XAMPP on Windows 8 and my application works fine. However, when I upload it to the Ubuntu server (Locaweb hosting, in Brazil) it returns the following error:
PDOException: SQLSTATE[IM002] SQLDriverConnect: 0 [unixODBC][Driver Manager]Data source name not found, and no default driver specified in /public_html/user/log-connections/connection.php:28 Stack trace: #0 /public_html/user/log-connections/connection.php(28): PDO->__construct('odbc:Driver={SQ...') #1 /public_html/user/log-connections/login.php(2): require_once('/public_html/user...') #2 {main}
The line causing the error (connection.php:28) is this one:
$pdo = new PDO("odbc:Driver={SQL Server}; Server={$servername}; Database={$dbname};", $username, $password);
I already tried using other driver names, such as "SQL Server Native Client", "FreeTDS", etc. But all returns the same error. Another thing is that the SQL Server isn't on the same server.
The solutions that I found on my research was telling me change the odbc.ini file and other files. But, I don't have access to those file on the server. Besides, on my local, I didn't change none of those files, just extended the modules to activate PDO and ODBC on the PHP.
Also, I already checked the phpInfo and the PDO and ODBC are enabled with "PDO Driver for ODBC (unixODBC)".
Anyone have experienced this kind of problem?

Connect to Foxpro with PHP using OLE DB driver

I'm trying to connect to a Foxpro database using the OLE DB Driver
I downloaded the driver from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=14839 and installed it then create a php script
$conn = new COM("ADODB.Connection") or die("Cannot start ADO");
$conn->Open("Provider=vfpoledb.1;Data Source=C:\Opera3\Comp_I.DBC;Collating Sequence=machine");
This gives me the following error
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'com_exception' with message '<b>Source:</b> ADODB.Connection<br/><b>Description:</b> Provider cannot be found. It may not be properly installed.' in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\test1.php:4 Stack trace: #0 C:\inetpub\wwwroot\test1.php(4): com->Open('Provider=vfpole...') #1 {main} thrown in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\test1.php on line 4
Any help in getting this working would be much appreciated.
As requested
uninstalled and reinstalled from command line as administrator for all users and now it works –

PHP Connection to MS SQLServer 2008 from Linux via PDO

I need to connect to a MS SQLServer 2008 service from PHP on Ubuntu, and I would like to do so using PDO. I believe I have installed all the prerequisite libraries, and I am indeed able to connect using tsql on the command line and using mssql_connect() in code. I can't figure out what the proper DSN is, or if there are any additional PDO-specific configuration steps I am missing.
I am using the following DSN (where $db* variables are populated with their appropriate values):
odbc:Driver=FreeTDS;SERVER=$dbServer;DATABASE=$dbSchema;UID=$dbUser;PWD=$dbPasswd"
My error message is:
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'PDOException' with message 'SQLSTATE[IM002] SQLDriverConnect: 0 [unixODBC][Driver Manager]Data source name not found, and no default driver specified' in /home/timothy/test.php:4
Stack trace:
#0 /home/timothy/test.php(4): PDO->__construct('odbc:Driver=Fre...')
#1 {main}
thrown in /home/timothy/test.php on line 4
What additional configuration steps have I over looked?
Thanks in advance.
You shouldn't need any additional configuration if you can connect with tsql and the mssql extension. You probably just don't have the correct dsn. This documentation should help. Try new PDO("dblib:host=xx.xx.xx.xx;dbname=mydatabase", "username", "password");
