I'm using PHP Version 5.3.8 that was installed via XAMPP along with Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (SQLEXPRESS). I have the drivers installed correctly (i guess) and have added the correct line into php.ini (extension=php_pdo_sqlsrv_53_ts_vc9.dll to be exact).
I'm trying to connect to the server like so:
try {
$DBH = new PDO("mssql:host=xxxx;dbname=xxxx", 'xxxx', 'xxxx');
} catch(PDOException $e) {
echo $e->getMessage();
}
I get the "could not find driver" error, and I've tweaked it all kinds of ways to solve the problem. I've tried all other kinds of drivers, but this is the only one that Apache doesn't give me an error on startup. When I run phpinfo(), the pdo_sqlsrv fields are all blank except pdo_sqlsrv.log_severity which is set to 0.
I DL'd my drivers from microsoft, and I've tried both 2.0 and 3.0
Any advice would be awesome!!
mssql is the old way of doing it, sqlsrv should be more appropriate! In fact the extension is called (extension=php_pdo_sqlsrv_53_ts_vc9.dll) as well ;)
try {
$DBH = new PDO("sqlsrv:Server=xxxx;Database=xxxx", 'xxxx', 'xxxx');
} catch (PDOException $e) {
echo $e->getMessage();
}
Hope this helps!

Not sure if this is due to running a CentOS x86_64 machine but sqlsrv didn't work as the driver for me, I had to use dblib:
try {
$DBH = new PDO("dblib:host=xxxx;dbname=xxxx", 'xxxx', 'xxxx');
} catch (PDOException $e) {
echo $e->getMessage();
}
Source and thanks to.
as I said in this
please notice you must use the correct version of php_sqlsrv_xx_xts_xxx.dll and php_pdo_sqlsrv_xx_xts_xx.dll files.
for exmple if you use php version 7.4 and a 64 bit system and wamp you must download and use these files:
php_sqlsrv_74_ts_x64.dll
php_pdo_sqlsrv_74_ts_x64.dll
for download you can use this site:

I've been trying to connect to my Azure SQL database using PHP 7.1. I've been following Microsoft's instructions so I'm using the iis express. After browsing and following the directions from posts like "Call to undefined function sqlsrv_connect()" when trying to connect to Azure DB from PHP and
Cannot Call function sqlsrv_connect(), I still cannot connect.
<?php
$serverName = "database_name.database.windows.net";
$connectionOptions = array("Database" => "database_name");
try {
$conn = sqlsrv_connect($serverName, $connectionOptions);
} catch (Exception $e) {
print_r($e);
}
?>
Here are the solutions I've tried:
Installed all the necessary SQL drivers
Reconfigured the php.ini file with the extensions and correct extension path
Ran PHP as an administrator from the PHP folder and also from another folder using its %PATH%
Restarted several times
Connected successfully to the database from the CMD line
This is my first time using PHP to connect to a remote SQL server so any help would be greatly appreciated.
You need to check whether your drivers match the PHP Version, Architecture (32/64 bits) and Thread Safety you are using.
For example, if you are using x86 and thread-safe version of PHP 7 then the following DLLs should be used:
extension=php_sqlsrv_7_nts_x86.dll
extension=php_pdo_sqlsrv_7_nts_x86.dll
You can see these PHP info via phpinfo() function:
I've installed PHP on IIS7 following the official PHP documentation and it succeed. I can run PHP files and my site is OK.
But I can't connect to my database on MSSQL with PDO and ODBC driver. I've set my php.ini carefuly and I think all is good. Morever I also think ODBC is native on Windows and PDO is included in latest PHP builds (mine is 5.5.36).
So here's my connection code :
define("UID", 'uid');
define("PWD", 'pwd');
define("DSN", 'odbc:decheterie');
// where 'decheterie' is the dataSource set in the ODBC Connection Manager
try {
$pdo = new PDO(DSN, UID, PWD);
} catch (PDOException $e) {
die("Error! ".$e->getMessage());
}
The error I get is :
Error! Could not find driver
If I run a php -m I can see that PDO and ODBC modules are correctly loaded.
But a PDO::getAvailableDrivers() returns an empty array and it can be verified within the phpinfo() which displays 'no value' in the 'PDO drivers' section.
I've read a lot of posts and articles and each time a response is valided as 'problem solving' it's already good in my config.
If someone can help it will be blessed ;)
Solved!
The answer is in the above comments. You need to DL the php_pdo_sqlsrv_*.dll
in your PHP /ext folder and references it as an extension in your php.ini
The '*' is for the PHP version everything is well described in the
MSDN doc here
Thanks
it has been days (weeks ?) since I try to connect to an Informix SQL database with PHP but I can't make it work.
I'm stuck with this error :
SQLSTATE=HY000, SQLDriverConnect: -329 [Random characters, ex :`�%]
sqlerrm(systables)
I can make the link with Windows ODBC utility http://i.stack.imgur.com/1ChAL.png
But impossible on PHP.
I installed the informix drivers and the informix dll extension for php and run it like this:
putenv("INFORMIXDIR=C:\\informix");
try {
$db = new PDO("informix:host=iat-----; service=sqlexec; database=sige---; server=iat-----; protocol=sesoctcp;", "if----", "pass---");
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo('Erreur : ' . $e->getMessage() . '<br>');
}
Thank you for your kind help.
Error message -329 is:
Database not found or no system permission
It means that despite your best efforts, something is astray with the environment. Either you've misspelled the database name or the server name, or the database is not set up to allow the user access to the database, or something along those lines.
Much more than that, I can't help you with. You're on Windows, and I'm not. You can look at the SETNET32 settings, but the fact that you can connect via the Windows ODBC utility suggests that most of what you need should be OK.
To fix this, you must restart the services for apache and php. If you are in linux, you can use the command "/etc/init.d/httpd restart"
This will fix the following error message:
Ocurrió un error ConexionPDOSQLSTATE=HY000, SQLDriverConnect: -11005 [Informix][Informix ODBC Driver]Unspecified System Error...
I've spent many-a hour trying to get a local webserver working (I'm new)
I created a sqlite3 database ('database.sql') in the www folder, and tried calling it with numerous different php commands (php 5.5, I checked) such as '$test = new SQLite('database.sql')' or the same with SQLite3, both with no luck. Also tried $test->open('database.sql').
Always with the fatal error "Class 'SQLite' not found". I've spent too many hours on what I'm sure is a very simple problem, I'm sorry to have to ask this!
To open a DB using PHP5 and SQLite we need to use a PDO and not the sqlite_open() function.
This is how to open or create a database: (not sure if it's bug free)
try {
/*** connect to SQLite database ***/
$dbh = new PDO("sqlite:VPN0.sqlite");
echo "Handle has been created ...... <br>";
}
catch(PDOException $e) {
echo $e->getMessage();
echo "<br>Database is loaded UNSUCCESSFULLY .. ";
die("<br>Query is closed $error");
}
echo "Database loaded SUCCESSFULLY ....";
Hope this helps!
There is a php package called sqlite3 which you can use (as well as PDO which is given above). Here is a fraction of code which uses it.
$db = new SQLite3(DATABASE);
if (isset($dbversion)) { //only newer versions of chat will have this
$version = $db->querySingle("SELECT value FROM parameters WHERE name = 'db_version'");
Where the DATABASE variable has been defined with
define('DATA_DIR',$datadir); //Should be outside of web space
define('DATABASE',DATA_DIR.'chat.db');
Are you sure that the package is installed on your server?
If you're still having problems you can do a couple of things. First, use phpinfo(); in a page to determine if the SQLite3 extension is installed.
Second, if you want to use PDO make sure that the following line in your php.ini is un-commented:
extension=php_pdo_sqlite.dll
If you have to un-comment this you will need to restart your server for the changes to take effect.
I am developing an application that needs to get data from an outside MSSQL database. I spent a lot of time trying to get various methods of connection to MSSQL with PHP, but there were several routes which were depreciated.
On my production environment running Debian, I was able to make a connection with PDO_DLIB and FreeTDS with something like this:
$this->db = new \PDO('dblib:host='.$thedb_host_prod.';dbname='.$thedb_database_name_prod, $thedb_database_user, $thedb_database_pass);
On Windows, MSSQL is depreciated. I believe I'm using the Microsoft SQL Server Driver and was only able to get it to work with ODBC, which looks something like this:
$dsn = "Driver={SQL Server};Server=".$thedb_host_dev.";Database=".$thedb_database_name_dev;
$this->odbc = odbc_connect($dsn, $thedb_database_user, $thedb_database_pass);
Then, the problem becomes, in each method I need to do something differently for ODBC than I do for DLIB.
public function exampleMethod(){
// logic and create the query in $query
if($this->dev == false){
// PRODUCTION
try {
$stmt = $this->db->prepare($query);
$stmt->execute();
$result = $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_OBJ);
} catch (PDOException $e) {
echo 'Connection failed: ' . $e->getMessage();
}
} else {
// DEVELOPMENT
$query = $query;
$stmt = odbc_exec($this->odbc, ($query));
$result = array();
while($currentRow = odbc_fetch_object( $stmt )){
$jobNumber = $currentRow->Code; // Set object key to jobNumber
array_push($result, $currentRow);
}
}
}
This actually works, but the problem is, with how the query for ODBC needs to be prepared vs how the DBLIB query should be prepared, means that if I don't want to write the query twice in each method, I have to create it before each action. This is really bad because it means I'm not putting my variables into the query with PDO's bindValue.
So, has anyone been able to get PDO work with PHP 5.4 and MSSQL in a Windows environment? Does anyone see a way of securing the query in a way that doesn't make me duplicate the query in each method, once for ODBC and once for DBLIB?
My plan currently is to develop the application out and then remove all of the ODBC stuff which will allow me to put the query in the $stmt properly, avoiding this problem. But until then, it's making development a huge pain.
Oooook, so I finally got it working !
Here are the libraries / drivers for Sql-server connection via C/C++/java/PHP/etc.
Precisely, here are the Windows drivers for PHP.
Check out this page to know which version you need to get
They all exist in have 32 and x64, as well as "Thread safe" (ts) and "non-thread-safe" (nts) versions.
From what I read, nts versions are to be used if you work with IIS.
Usage :
Download and extract the package you need.
in my case, package 3.2, for php 5.6
Take necessary drivers
in my case, php_sqlsrv_56_ts.dll and php_pdo_sqlsrv_56_ts.dll
Put them in your php extensions directory
in my case, [...]\php5630vc11x86x170623162800\ext
If you wonder where this dir is inside your PHP, it should be quite easy to find, since you have plenty of other dlls here.
Likely, php_pdo_mysql.dll, php_pdo_pgsql.dll, etc.
Modify your php.ini
Be careful with Wamp, it seems to have one in the php directory AND another one in the apache dir.
Add lines to load the two extensions.
You can add them at the end of your file, or with the other extensions loading.
In my case, here's what I added :
;SQL-srever extensions
extension=php_sqlsrv_56_ts.dll
extension=php_pdo_sqlsrv_56_ts.dll
This part was for the PHP/PDO side.
For the driver to actualy work, you also need your (Windows) machine to have the ODBC drivers installed.
Feel free to try your connection already, but if it whines that you need the ODBC driver, go get it here :
Microsoft® ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server®
And last, but not least, be sure to use the right format for your PDO connection.
$conn = new PDO ("sqlsrv:Server=$srv_host;database=$srv_dbname";
For comparison, here's what I wsa using on my linux server :
$conn = new PDO ("dblib:host=$srv_host:$srv_port;dbname=$srv_dbname", "$srv_username", "$srv_password");
I thought this syntax was common to all PDO drivers, but it appears I was wrong.
Here is the PHP PDO driver documentation.
I just actually had to do some work in php connecting to a MSSQL server. I did have to downgrade to php 5.4 due to the fact that the php_pdo_sqlsrv.dll is not updated for 5.5. For the dll files check here. But now down to the code I used to connect once you have the .dll files in the right place.
try {
$db = new PDO("sqlsrv:Server={$host};Database={$database}", $userName, $password);
}catch(PDOException $e){
die("failed to connect");
}
Just a standard PDO connection. Just in order to get it to work you must make sure that the .dll files are in the php directory.
I hope that answers at least part of the question.
I have worked with PHP 5.4 and SQL Server with PDO on Windows.
I strongly recommend using Microsoft's Web Platform Installer to set everything up. You can use it to install PHP, a local version of SQL Server Express to develop on, the official PHP driver for SQL Server, and IIS, all set up to work together.
One note of caution: The last release of the SQL Server PDO driver was in April, 2012. I reported a bug against it last year and was told that it's in "limited support", which apparently translates to "you're on your own". In any case, it worked reasonably well.
