Installing sqlsrv on PHP 5.5.15 XAMMP won't appear in the PHP Info

manpreet Best Answer 3 years ago

I am new to this type of thing and am getting most frustrated (As all newbies do lol)

I am trying to install the sqlsrv extension into the PHP on my XAMMP server to test some PHP to SQL database form submissions.

The first issue I have come across this that our friends at microsoft have not bothered to write sqlsrv drivers for PHP 5.5.15 at all. I have however managed to isolate the drivers recompiled for 5.5.15 by someone else. Now obviously these are unofficial but people claim they work fine.

I have put these dll files in the "ext" folder

php_pdo_sqlsrv_55_nts.dll

php_pdo_sqlsrv_55_ts.dll

php_sqlsrv_55_nts.dll

php_sqlsrv_55_ts.dll

and added the file names to the php.ini at the end of the "Windows Extensions" list.

When I start up my XAMMP Server it starts fine but when I click on PHP info section they do not appear as they apparently should there.

Any help would be hugely appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
