Welcome to the Microsoft Drivers for PHP for SQL Server PHP 7 Linux
The Microsoft Drivers for PHP for SQL Server are PHP extensions that allow for the reading and writing of SQL Server data from within PHP scripts. 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 Azure SQL DB). These drivers rely on the Microsoft ODBC Driver for SQL Server to handle the low-level communication with SQL Server.
This project contains the SQLSRV and PDO_SQLSRV drivers for PHP 7 (64-bit) with limitations (see Limitations below for details). Upcoming release(s) will contain more functionality, bug fixes, and more.

##Get Started
Following instructions shows how to install PHP 7.x, Microsoft ODBC driver, apache, and Microsoft PHP drivers on Ubuntu 15, 16 and RedHat 7. To see how to get PHP SQLSRV drivers running on Debian, please visit Wiki. Note that Debian is not officially supported and this instruction hasn't been tested in our test lab.

Navigate to /var/www/html and create a new file called testsql.php. Copy and paste the following code in tetsql.php and change the servername, username, password and databasename.
<?php
$serverName = "yourServername";
$connectionOptions = array(
"Database" => "yourDatabase",
"Uid" => "yourUsername",
"PWD" => "yourPassword"
);
//Establishes the connection
$conn = sqlsrv_connect($serverName, $connectionOptions);
//Select Query
$tsql= "SELECT @@Version as SQL_VERSION";
//Executes the query
$getResults= sqlsrv_query($conn, $tsql);
//Error handling
if ($getResults == FALSE)
die(FormatErrors(sqlsrv_errors()));
?>
<h1> Results : </h1>
<?php
while ($row = sqlsrv_fetch_array($getResults, SQLSRV_FETCH_ASSOC)) {
echo ($row['SQL_VERSION']);
echo ("<br/>");
}
sqlsrv_free_stmt($getResults);
function FormatErrors( $errors )
{
/* Display errors. */
echo "Error information: <br/>";
foreach ( $errors as $error )
{
echo "SQLSTATE: ".$error['SQLSTATE']."<br/>";
echo "Code: ".$error['code']."<br/>";
echo "Message: ".$error['message']."<br/>";
}
}
?>
Go to your browser and type in http://localhost/testsql.php You should be able to connect to your SQL Server/Azure SQL Database.
The drivers are distributed as shared binary extensions for PHP. They are available in thread safe (_ts.so) and-non thread safe (_nts.so) versions. The source code for the drivers is also available, and you can choose whether to compile them as thread safe or non-thread safe versions. The thread safety configuration of your web server will determine which version you need.
##Announcements
December 19, 2016: We are delighted announce that production release for PHP Linux Driver for SQL Server is available. PECL packages (4.0.8) are updated with the latest changes, and Linux binaries (4.0.8) compiled with PHP 7.0.14 are available for Ubuntu 15.04, Ubuntu 16.04, and RedHat 7.2. For complete list of changes please visit CHANGELOG file.
Please visit the blog for more announcements.
- This preview contains the PHP 7 port of the SQLSRV and PDO_SQLSRV drivers, and does not provide backwards compatibility with PHP 5.
- Binding output parameter using emulate prepare is not supported.
- ODBC 3.52 is supported but not 3.8.
- Connection using named instances using '' is not supported.
- Local encodings other than UTF-8 are not supported, and SQLSRV_ENC_CHAR only supports ASCII characters with ASCII code of 0 to 127.
The following items have known issues:
- Connection pooling in PDO_SQLSRV is not supported.
- Binary column binding with emulate prepare (issue#140)
We appreciate you taking the time to test the driver, provide feedback and report any issues. It would be extremely helpful if you:
- Report each issue as a new issue (but check first if it's already been reported)
- Try to be detailed in your report. Useful information for good bug reports include:
- What you are seeing and what the expected behaviour is
- Can you connect to SQL Server via
sqlcmd? - Which driver: SQLSRV or PDO_SQLSRV?
- Environment details: e.g. PHP version, thread safe (TS) or non-thread safe (NTS)?
- Table schema (for some issues the data types make a big difference!)
- Any other relevant information you want to share
- Try to include a PHP script demonstrating the isolated problem.
Thank you!
Q: Can we get dates for any of the Future Plans listed above?
A: At this time, Microsoft is not able to announce dates. We are working extremely hard to release future versions of the driver. We will share future plans once they solidify over the next few weeks.
Q: What's next?
A: On July 20, 2016 we released the early technical preview for our PHP Driver. We will continue releasing frequent technical previews until we reach production quality.
Q: Is Microsoft taking pull requests for this project?
A: We will not be seeking to take pull requests until GA, Build Verification, and Fundamental tests are released. At this point Microsoft will also begin actively developing using this GitHub project as the prime repository.
