Answer 1

Your print_r() calls are wrong, they should be
print_r(sqlsrv_errors(), false);
^^---missing in yours
Without the (), PHP sees that as an undefined constant and outputs nothing. With the (), it's a function call that'll return the error messages from your DB call.
Try rerunning your code with that and see what the errors are.

Answer 2

You need to define where your params are in the query
call rpt_TOP_PRODUCTS(?,?)

Answer 3

Better late than never. Marc B is right about your print_r functions. Also, with the sqlsrv PHP functions, you have to prepare a query with "sqlsrv_prepare()" before you can execute it. Just change:
$stmt = sqlsrv_query($conn,$sql,$params)
to:
$stmt = sqlsrv_prepare($conn,$sql,$params)
And it should run just fine.

Answer 4

Try this
<?php
$sql = " { call rpt_TOP_PRODUCTS} ";//my stored procedure
$param1 = 10;
$param2 = 'E';
$param3 = 'SZ';
$params = array($param1,$param2,$param3);//parameters to be passed );
$stmt = sqlsrv_prepare($conn,$sql,$params)or die(print_r(sqlsrv_errors(),true));
if ($stmt===false) {
// handle error
echo 'Success No';//THIS IS WHERE ITS GOING WHEN I RUN THE CODE
print_r(sqlsrv_errors(),true);
} else {
if (sqlsrv_execute($stmt)===false) {
// handle error. This is where the error happens
print_r(sqlsrv_errors(),true);
echo 'Success Not ';
} else {
echo 'Success True Yeah';//THIS IS WHERE I WANT IT TO COME.
}

If your procedure is not there, you will get an error saying the procedure could not be found
