I recently tried to install or add the PHP mssql driver to connect with the ms sql server. Official compiled dll for the php_sqlsrv is until version 5.4, and does not support PHP version 5.5 and beyond.
I tried adding the extension, but XAMPP keeps on telling me there is something wrong. It gives a message like "startup: sqlsrv: unable to initialize module..". I searched the internet for some time, until I came across a solution on my particular problem.
It seems there is a need to compile a newer version of the php_sqlsrv driver. Thankfully someone did that for me since I certainly have no idea how to compile this source file. This is only for test purposes only, so hopefully the compiled dll does not have anything else besides the intended purpose of connecting to the ms sql server.
