Welcome to the Microsoft Drivers for PHP for SQL Server project!

The Microsoft Drivers for PHP for SQL Server are PHP 5 extensions that allows for the reading and writing of SQL Server data from within PHP scripts. The release contains two drivers, the SQLSRV driver and the PDO_SQLSRV driver. The SQLSRV extension provides a procedural interface while the PDO_SQLSRV extension implements PDO for accessing data in all editions of SQL Server 2005 and later (including SQL Azure). These drivers rely on the Microsoft SQL Server Native Client's ODBC driver to handle the low-level communication with SQL Server.

Microsoft has published the source code to the driver on this site. With each successive update, we will revisit this plan. We've seen too many projects over-reach in their plans to be responsive to the community. We would prefer to start with a more conservative approach and make sure we're successfully delivering on that before expanding. We understand that many developers will download the source code to create their own build(s) of the driver. However, Microsoft supports only the Microsoft signed versions of the driver.

We hope you enjoy using the Microsoft Drivers for PHP for SQL Server.

August 5, 2010 : Version 2.0 is released !!!!

Microsoft reached an important interoperability milestone: the release of the Microsoft Drivers for PHP for SQL Server 2.0!!

The major highlight of this release is the addition of the PDO_SQLSRV driver, which adds support for PHP Data Objects (PDO). In addition to accessing SQL Server, both drivers (SQLSRV and PDO_SQLSRV) also enable PHP developers to easily connect to and use Microsoft's cloud database offering, SQL Azure, and enjoy the benefits of a reliable and scalable relational database in the cloud, as well as functionality like exposing OData feeds. Some additional key highlights, how we engaged with the PHP community to deliver a release that met their expectations and that we released it under an Apache 2.0 license.

It’s a short survey, should take less than 10 mins and will be live until August 16 5:00 PM PST. We look forward to all feedback/suggestions.

Updated Wiki: Frequently Asked Questions

AshayC — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 16:04:44 GMT

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I access the pre-built version of the driver from the MSDN download site?
You can download the driver from the MSDN download site:

Microsoft Drivers for PHP for SQL Server 2.0.

Will Microsoft support these drivers?
Microsoft supports the Microsoft signed versions of the driver. If using a custom built version of the driver and problems are encountered, please reproduce the problem with the Microsoft-built driver before contacting Microsoft support services.

Where can I get more information on the drivers?
You can keep up with other announcements through our team blog. There's also an MSDN Forum for questions and feedback on the drivers. Do note that the MSDN Forum is the recommended by the team.

Where can I find the documentation for the drivers?
Both drivers are fully documented on MSDN Online as well as in a help file included with the drivers. MSDN also accepts community contributions to improve the documentation, and we welcome you to provide the necessary updates or corrections if we missed something. We also include two fully functional example applications (one for each driver) based on the AdventureWorks sample database also available on Codeplex.

How will Microsoft respond to feedback and update the drivers?
We will be responsive to feedback on the MSDN Forum and our team blog, weighing in on both feature requests and bug reports. When we update the driver on the MSDN download site, we also push the corresponding changes to the source code up to this site.

How can I contribute to this project?
At this time we are not able to accept code contributions for these drivers. We understand this situation is not perfect. Until we reach the stage where we can accept contributions, we strongly recommend filing bug reports in the SQL Server product feedback system or post the issue on our MSDN Forum because these sites have a larger community and Microsoft presence. Another advantage of the SQL Server product feedback system is that we able to contact the person filing the bug should the need arise, and the community gets better visibility on the issue.

The SQL Server Driver for PHP allows PHP developers to access SQL Server databases. The SQL Server Driver for PHP relies on the Microsoft SQL Server 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.

Microsoft has published the source code to the driver on this site. You can download the source code and provide feedback in the form of bug reports and feature requests.
