The MSSQL extension is not available anymore on Windows with PHP 5.3 or later. SQLSRV, an alternative driver for MS SQL is available from Microsoft: » http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=20098

Step by Step

1. Download SQLSRV32.EXE (Microsoft Drivers for PHP for SQL Server) from: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=20098

2. Choose path: C:\xampp\php\ext

3. Uncomment or Append extension = php_sqlsrv_55_ts.dll in php.ini

4. Restart Apache from XAMPP Control Panel (Stop/Start)

I tested it and it works 100%
