I'm running a WAMP stack and and trying to connect to an SQL Server instance with PHP's PDO.
I've downloaded the PHP drivers for MS SQL from here and added **php_pdo_sqlsrv_54_ts.dll** into PHP's extension folder.
Then added "php_pdo_sqlsrv_54_ts.dll" to the list of extensions in php.ini.
I know I'm using the correct driver because I'm using PHP version 5.4.3 and **phpinfo()** reports that it's thread-safe.
However, after restarting Apache **phpinfo()** (and **PDO::getAvailableDrivers()**) both report that only the mysql, odbc and sqlite PDO drivers are loaded.
This means that when I attempt to connect to my SQL Server instance I get the error:
could not find driver
Can anyone advise on how to get this working?
Sounds like the SQL Native Client is missing.
System Requirements
Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Native Client available in the SQL Server 2012 Feature Pack.

I am rebuilding a service that is using MSSQL Server 2005 along with PHP 4.3.11. There is a maintenance issue that I will need to address, and I would prefer to not write obsolete code now only to have to rewrite it later. I have been looking into the PDO_SQLSRV driver. It appears that Microsoft does not test new driver versions on software that has reached it's EOS. Has anyone attempted to use the 5.8 or 5.9 PHP Drivers for SQL Server on MSSQL Server 2005?
I want to test some SQL server functions like sqlsrv_connect, i installed sqlsrv driver succesfully, is it possible to use the sqlsrv_connect function to connect to a MySQL database or do i have to install a MS SQL Server ?
Thank you
Quoting the PHP Manual:
The SQLSRV extension allows you to access Microsoft SQL Server and SQL Azure databases when running PHP on Windows.
So, you have to install a MS SQL Server. Because that's what the extension is for.
sqlsrv_connect only connects to a MS SQL Server. You need to use either PDO or mysqli to connect to MySql from PHP
I am trying to get PHP with the SQL Server driver working under IIS. I had a similar situation 18 months ago with lesser versions of the php and the driver and Apache, and that code worked fine working on Windows Server 2003.
I am trying to set it up on my Windows 7 (Home Premium) Virtual Machine to work out how to do it, before attempting to get the same done on a Windows Server 2011.
Now I am coming to try the same code again and reset up my development environment. This time I am using PHP 5.5 and have installed the threadsafe version version of the driver php_pdo_sqlsrv_55_ts.dll obtained from the downloadable SQLSERVER31.exe file.
Doing all of this in 32 bit mode
As soon as I try and construct a new PDO I get the following error message
SQLSTATE[IMSSP]: This extension requires the ODBC Driver 11 for SQL
Server to communicate with SQL Server. Access the following URL to
download the ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server for x86:
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=163712
So although that link isn't directly to the driver, I eventually find my way there and download it, only for it to fail to install. However, I think that might be because I already have the ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server installed.
So according to my Data Sources (ODBC) application in the Administrative Tools Section there are two SQL Server ODBC drivers
SQL Server, verion 6.01.7602.17514 SQLSRV32.DLL Dated 21/11/2010
SQL Server Native Client 11, version 2011.110.5058.00 SQLNCLI11.DLL Dated 15/05/2014
So I really don't know how to go from here.
Can I remove a driver and re-install it. If so how?
Any other suggestions as to how to get this to work.
I discovered the answer to my problem. I hadn't installed the odbc driver - the drivers listed above are not the correct ones.
The reason the ODBC driver I downloaded failed to install wasn't because the driver was already installed - it was because I had downloaded the 32 bit version, and it HAS to be the 64 bit version.
As soon as I installed the 64 bit version, another entry appeared in the Data Sources Driver list, and my test program started to work
I am trying to access an SQL Server.
UPDATE: In response to Clive's comments below I have also tried reinstalling the native ODBC driver but no change.
I've checked over all the questions I can find on this and everything seems to be in order. My server details:
PHP 5.4 (Managed via Plesk)
SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2
Windows Server 2008 R2
The latest mssql drivers for PDO are in the EXT directory and referenced in php.ini:
extension=php_sqlsrv_54_nts.dll
extension=php_pdo_sqlsrv_54_nts.dll
PHPINFO() gives the following:
PDO Drivers: mysql, sqlite, sqlsrv
pdo_sqlsrv support: enabled
sqlsrv support: enabled
My connection string looks like this:
$DSN = "sqlsrv:Server=myDbServer,1433;database=my-dbname";
$PdoOptions = array(
PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE => PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION,
PDO::ATTR_DEFAULT_FETCH_MODE => PDO::FETCH_ASSOC
);
$sparklyGenericPdoObj = new PDO($DSN,'myUsername','myPasswurde', $PdoOptions);
But that just gives me the following error which links - in a roundabout way - to the drivers I already have installed (I've checked the version numbers):
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'PDOException' with message
'SQLSTATE[IMSSP]: This extension requires the Microsoft SQL Server
2012 Native Client ODBC Driver to communicate with SQL Server. Access
the following URL to download the Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Native
Client ODBC driver for x86:
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=163712'
On this thread (reporting exactly the same error as me) is a solution which says that you can confirm the driver is installed by looking for the items I've mentioned above in PHPINFO: Not getting connected to Sql Server 2012!
Any help would be much appreciated!
Although it is a fairly old post, I've decided that it would be better to place my answer here instead of creating an other question...
after 3 weeks of research all over the Web and testing a lot of hypothesis around php installation, php code and drivers installation, I finally found the solution to this question.
THE PROBLEM:
I have an app that is installed on WIN SERVER 2012 SP2 and running under IIS.
The development of this app is made on a WIN 7 SP1 and running under 32-bit XAMPP 3.2.2. All of these are running PHP 5.6.
Everything is working fine on the server but I keep having this message when executed locally on XAMPP:
This extension requires the Microsoft ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server to communicate with SQL Server
Even though I've installed this driver many times (with other php drivers found here, configure my php.ini to load php_sqlsrv_56_ts.dll and php_pdo_sqlsrv_56_ts.dll), it keeps returning me the same message...
The PDO command I've used to connect to distant MSSQL Server was:
$db = new PDO("sqlsrv:server=192.168.165.XXX;Database=testDB;", "userName", "passWord");
I have tried other drivers and it worked fairly well with ODBC driver;
$db = new PDO("odbc:Driver={SQL Server};Server=192.168.165.XXX;Database=testDB;", "userName", "passWord");
but I've found that there was some limitations with the later driver that I didn't experience with sqlsrv on the PROD server so I decided to push a little bit more my research to find a way to implement sqlsrv on my local machine...
THE INVESTIGATION:
Before connecting with PHP, I've tried to create System DSN (Data Source Name), with the ODBC Source Administrator (ODBCSA) application and test connection from there before trying to connect with my application.
Something pretty strange I have discovered with Win7, is that there are two different ODBCSA applications.
The 32-bit version of the Odbcad32.exe file is located in the %systemdrive%\Windows\SysWoW64 folder.
The 64-bit version of the Odbcad32.exe file is located in the %systemdrive%\Windows\System32 folder.
The 32-bit version of the ODBC Administrator tool displays 32-bit system DSNs, 32-bit user DSNs, and 64-bit user DSNs.
The 64-bit version of the ODBC Administrator tool displays 64-bit system DSNs, 32-bit user DSNs, and 64-bit user DSNs
Just to make sure what ODBCA your are using, check in Task manager under odbcad32.exe, if you see *32 on its right, that means its the 32-bit version.
At first, I executed the 64-bit ODBCSA, created DSN using the brand newly installed ODBC Driver 11, called ODBC_11_64 and test the connection using the ODBCSA. All worked fine. When I tested my code I received an other error message:
The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application
Ok then, I tried to create an new DSN using the 32-bit ODBCSA. It was strange at first, when I've discovered that there was no version number aside some driver names and I received this error from the ODBCSA:
The setup routines for the ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server could not be found. Please reinstall the driver.
and an other message:
Component not found in the registry
It was obvious that there was an installation problem and the later message point me in the right direction, the Registry...
Starting regedit as admin, I've found that all 64-bit ODBC drivers can be found here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI
All 32-bit ODBC drivers can be found here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI
While trying to access the 64-bit key (\ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server), I was able to display key values but when I tried to access the 32-bit key, I received this message:
Error Opening Key, ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server Driver cannot be opened.
An error is preventing this key from being opened.
Details: Access is denied.
THE SOLUTION:
By right clicking on the 32-bit faulty key I was able to access permission interface. I was then able to add my username (I could also add a group) and granted full Control on the registry key.
I then came back to creating an new DSN using the 32-bit ODBCSA and ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server, tested the connection with SUCCESS! :-)
I when back to my application and found that I was able to access the distant MSSQL SERVER using sqlsrv, on my local machine.
All along it was the driver installation package that was faulty! I should had install permissions to SYSTEM, users and administrators to the key has it did with the 64-bit registry key for this driver.
It was a pretty long story but I thought it was worth it, since a lot of persons tried to solve this complex problem, going in many different directions without success. Its also my contribution to all of you, who failed to find the solution but helped me in my investigation ;-)
i have fond some config in php.ini but was noted;
;extension=odbc
;extension=pdo_mysql
;extension=pdo_oci
;extension=pdo_odbc
remove “；” before, restart service, and it is worked!
In the end I solved this by installing the "Microsoft® SQL Server® 2012 SP1 Command Line Utilities" from here (SqlCmdLnUtils.msi):
http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=35580
No idea why this worked but there it is.
I've inherited some code that uses the sqlsrv_connect method to instantiate a connection to a SQL Server database. My personal development machine is an OS X box that I'm running apache an PHP on. I have an instance of SQL Server running in a virtual machine.
When I attempt to connect to the database, I get the following error.
Fatal error: Call to undefined function sqlsrv_connect() in ...
It appears that sqlsrv_connect is not part of standard PHP, and is part of a driver that ships with SQL Server 2005. (please correct me if I'm wrong here)
Is there a way to use this function on Non-Windows platforms? I realize I could install/build an Apache/PHP instance on my Windows machine, but if there's a way to get this function working on OS X (or other *nixes) I'd prefer it.
Is not possible. The SQL Native Driver for PHP is Windows only product:
The SQL Server Driver for PHP relies
on the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 ODBC
Driver to handle the low-level
communication with SQL Server. As a
result, the SQL Server Driver for PHP
is only supported on Windows.
You can look here for a tutorial on how to install the extension. (Via Google)
I'm not too famillar with the extension, but that source should be able to help you out.
(Updated Link to Better Source, still via Google)
The SQL Server Driver for PHP (from MS) is available only on Windows. Unless you want some specific features offered by this driver/ API, you can use the PHP ODBC module along with UnixODBC/ iODBC driver, or FreeTDS (ODBC or db-lib)
