Having problems loading PHP Driver for SQL Server 2008 Express

Question

Hello all,

I am trying to make use of the PHP driver for MS SQL Server version 1.0.

I have everything setup but I think I am having trouble loading up the extension php_sqlsrv_ts.dll. I have gone to the command line and try this:

C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.0>php.exe --re sqlsrv
Exception: Extension sqlsrv does not exist

C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.0>php.exe --re sqlsrv_ts
Exception: Extension sqlsrv_ts does not exist

In my PHP.ini - I have:

;extension=php_sqlsrv.dll
extension=php_sqlsrv_ts.dll

Thread safe is enabled for me hence the usage of php_sqlsrv_ts.dll. My extension_dir is correct because I load other modules from there. I also have Microsoft Native CLient 2008 too. Everytime I try to run my PHP script I get:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function sqlsrv_connect()

It must have something to do with the module not being loadaed up. I can get all extension info for MySQL but not for sqlsrv extension.

How can I get PHP to load this extension?

Thanks all

Answer 1

That is a version mismatch. The module was compiled for an earlier version of PHP than is used for mod_php. You will need to compile the module using the version on the server.
