But when i start my apache in xampp then i get
How to fix that thanks
It announced from php website http://php.net/manual/en/intro.mssql.php
These functions allow you to access MS SQL Server database.
This extension is not available anymore on Windows with PHP 5.3 or later.
SQLSRV, an alternative extension for MS SQL connectivity is available from Microsoft: ยป http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/sqlserver/ff657782.aspx.
Since XAMPP 1.8.0 its used PHP 5.4.4 and php_mssql.dll extension is not available anymore on windows with PHP 5.3 or later.
So you can't use this library to your new XAMPP although you get it from your old XAMPP.
You must use alternative extension to connect to MS SQL Server database like SQLSRV.

Your php version from XAMPP 1.8.3 is PHP 5.5.15, so you must use "php_sqlsrv_55_nts.dll" or "php_sqlsrv_55_ts.dll". Those files can be downloaded from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=20098`.

http://php.net/manual/en/book.sqlsrv.php
Windows PHP extensions are neither forward nor backward compatible between second-level PHP versions. That means you cannot use a PHP 5.3 extension in PHP 5.4 and vice-versa.
As you're running XAMPP 1.8.3 and this is one of the first PHP bundles with the VC11-PHP5.5 builds you'll have to find a VC11-PHP5.5 compatible extension somewhere else.
I've just checked another WAMP bundle called EasyPHP, but they don't ship the MS SQL extension with their VC11-PHP5.5 bundle either.
I can't help with finding a compatible extension, though.
You could also build the extension yourself if that is an option for you.

I have the latest version of Apache (Apache 2.4), latest version of PHP (PHP7), and latest version of MySQL (not sure the version but I have WorkBench version 6.3). In the past, when I checked if my PHP was working by this line of code <?php phpinfo(); ?> it would show that I have MySQL / mysqli installed and ready to go. But with PHP7 it shows mysqlnd.
I try using mysqli commands to check if I can connect to my database by mysqli_ping() and I also tried connecting to the database using server, user, pass. I keep getting errors such as Class mysqli not found. Or Call to undefined function mysqli_ping(). I've tried searching the net for some answers and All I could find was that I need to install MySQL (but a few sites said it was deprecated).
Am I able to get mysqli for PHP7? Or do I use mysqlnd? What is mysqlnd? Is it a new version of MySQL/mysqli?
Update 2020
For Windows 10 users I strongly recommend windows subsystem for linux (WSL 2) and setup your server there.
If you need php and mysql access in windows environment, then the fastest way is to install Wampserver. If you also need access to php through console then add php location (like C:\wamp64\bin\php\php7.4.11) to environment variables.
If that doesn't suit you and you need full setup always enabled on your system then follow install with choco.
To work properly with apache and load all needed extensions (including php_mysqli) you need ThreadSafe version of PHP, so make sure to download correct version or if you use Chocolatey to manage your windows applications, then just install php with this command:
choco install php --package-parameters='"/ThreadSafe "'.
This will install php in C:\tools\php72 directory, but you can overwrite it with another parameter:
choco install php --package-parameters='"/ThreadSafe ""/InstallDir:C:\PHP"""'.
The mysqlnd extension is part of PHP. It was developed as an alternative to bundling the libmysqlclient, because that library had license conditions that made it awkward to bundle with PHP.
You won't use mysqlnd directly. It's an internal library that is used by mysqli and pdo_mysql as a means to communicate with the MySQL Server.
As for mysqli, yes, it's available for PHP 7. I don't use Windows, but apparently not all extensions are enabled by default.
You probably need to edit your php.ini and uncomment the line
extension=ext_mysqli.dll
or whatever it is for that extension. It might already be in the file, but commented out. So go take a look and see.
Check if your system path environmental variable includes the PHP installation directory. That worked for me on with PHP 7.1 / Apache 2.4 / Windows Server 2016.
I use php_oci8.dll in our application to access an Oracle 8 database server. I upgraded our PHP version from 5.3 to 5.6.5 and now there is no php_oci8.dll in the ext/ folder.
Can I just copy it from the old version?
php_oci8.dll is a very old library used with very old version of Oracle
Now there is a newer version for this library, like php_oci8_11g
The question is : what is the version of Oracle that you use ?
From http://php.net/manual/en/oci8.requirements.php
The OCI8 1.4 extension is included with PHP 5.3, PHP 5.4 and PHP 5.5. It is also available from PECL.
Read: not incliuded in PHP 5.6 (which is a good thing, not pulling in every single DB interface into the main tree)
Just download that stuff from PECL.
You might need to rebuild it from source, though, if whatever Oracle DB client Libraries you use don't match the needs of the OCI8 in its current version
EDIT: Don't do this, OP. Are you really using Oracle 8i? That has seen its last update in 2003 and should not be used for security reasons, any more. Seriously, how do you even run this on a modern Operating system? Or do you have a Windows XP machine running as a server exposed to the internet somewhere?!
I'm using WAMP 2.2 (PHP 5.4.3) on Windows 7 64bit and I like to use PHP to connect to MS SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
I downloaded Microsoft Drivers 3.0 for PHP for SQL Server and unzip the file php_pdo_sqlsrv_54_ts.dll to the php's extension directory.
I appended php.ini with additional "extension=php_pdo_sqlsrv_54_ts.dll".
After restarting WAMP, I got an error message dialog.
How to fix it?
One more thing, why php keep putting pdo_mssql on it's php.ini, is it available anyway?
Thanks.
You use 64-bit while the DLL library you try to use is 32-bit. Read somewhere that WAMP, XAMPP and so on doesn't like that. Try to find a 64-bit version of that DLL.
I have successfully configured php in IIS. sample php pages working fine. now i want to connect it to sql server i tried it by downloading a mssql .dll file in ext folder,I also tried by installing a extension for windows driver, then also it is not working. please help to sort out this issue. I am Using php5.3.19 for the same.
In order to use PHP 5.3 with SQL Server (2005 and above), you will need the Microsoft Drivers for PHP for SQL Server. There are two versions available: 2.0 and 3.0. 3.0 includes support for SQL Server 2012 and PHP 5.4.
You can find instructions for installing the dlls and interfacing with SQL Server in a TechNet article.
To install the extensions, you must move them into your ext folder and add a line to php.ini to load them, like the following:
extension=php_sqlsrv_53_nts_vc9.dll
Once this is done, restart the web server and load phpinfo in order to see if the extension has loaded. If it has loaded correctly, you should see a "sqlsrv" section in PHPInfo.
When the time comes for you to begin writing PHP that connects to SQL Server, make sure you have installed the native client. The current version is the SQL Server 2012 Native Client. References for the API are available on TechNet and PHP.net.
Finally, consider upgrading to PHP 5.4. The 3.0 versions of the drivers support 5.4 but the 2.0 versions do not; if you cannot install 3.0 on your system, you can find a 5.4-compatible version of the DLL (sqlsrv-5.4-nts-snap.zip or
sqlsrv-5.4-ts-snap.zip) on PHP.net. I have had good results with these versions.
I've been struggling with this for a while now and I don't know what I'm missing. The error is:
call to undefined function mssql_connect()
Having looked into it already, I've done about everything I can.
I moved the php.ini file to c:\windows
In the ini I changed the extension_dir directive to c:PHP\ext and uncommented:
extension = php_mssql.dll
I moved the dll file to c:windows\system32\
I downloaded the 200.80.194.0 version of ntwdblib.dll and placed it in c:\windows\system32
I restarted my web server client
PHP is still not recognizing the function and library classes. I'm stumped as to what I didn't do right and would love some help. If it's helpful, I'm running PHP 5.3.2, IIS, and Microsoft SQL Server 2008.
For SQL Server 2008 on Windows it's sqlsrv_connect This is because Microsoft now uses the SQL Driver for PHP which is now on version 2.0 I believe.
Also it's worth noting that with sqlsrv_query, and mssql_query they switched the parameters around (spent half an hour figuring that out).
You say you are running PHP 5.3.2. The PHP manual states:
This extension is not available anymore on Windows with PHP 5.3 or later.
The PHP MSSQL library is ancient and is no longer considered a viable option.
You should instead examine PDO with either the MSSQL driver or the more reliable ODBC driver.
Microsoft are still developing their own PDO driver. Version 2 was made available June 2010. Microsoft recommend the more stable version 1.1 for production use.
