Answer 1

For PHP5.6 vou need download SQLSRV32.EXE, after it put the php_pdo_sqlsrv_56_ts.dll and php_sqlsrv_56_ts.dll on ext folder and finally register those extension on php.ini, like this:

extension=php_sqlsrv_56_ts.dll
extension=php_pdo_sqlsrv_56_ts.dll

Restart apache and try phpinfo()or you could use getAvailableDrivers()

<?php
   echo "<pre>";
   print_r(PDO::getAvailableDrivers());

My windows is 64x, but the XAMP is 86x. I only noticed after running phpinfo()
