I know this was asked alot of times but all the answers are outdated.
As of PHP 5.3, as we all know mssql is not supported, so went on installing sqlsrv driver for this, as it seems to be the only option out there (I'm open to suggestions!).
Now I'm using PHP 5.4 on a Windows server 2003, SQL Server 2005 with IIS as webserver.
I've followed about a million guides and i've installed everything accordingly, but the driver just wont load,sqlsrv won't
show on phpinfo().
This is what i've done in php.ini :
extension=php_sqlsrv_54_nts.dll
And the extension_dir is
set to C:\PHP\ext,
though phpinfo() shows its loading a php.ini file from progrem files, so i'm editing 2 php.ini files every time as i'm not sure which one is active. For the same reason i've put the dll files in both locations.
There is no information for this problem! all the solutions are for people who have used the wrong versions, etc.
I've tried applying every single dll and all with the same result, including Threaded and non-threaded.
What can i do?
