Linux - PHP 7.0 and MSSQL (Microsoft SQL)

Question

Yes, I know that PHP 7.0 removed the extensions needed to connect to MSSQL. FreeTDS was my option prior to PHP 7.0 but now there really is no obvious upgrade path for those

Answer 1

As per the answer above - the steps output a shared object (*.so) so the php.ini file needs the file extension too.

echo "extension=sqlsrv.so" >> `php --ini | grep "Loaded Configuration" | sed -e "s|.*:\s*||"`
echo "extension=pdo_sqlsrv.so" >> `php --ini | grep "Loaded Configuration" | sed -e "s|.*:\s*||"`
