Microsoft's official PHP extensions (SQLSRV and PDO_SQLSRV) for reading and writing SQL Server data from PHP scripts, supporting SQL Server 2012+ and Azure SQL Database. The drivers rely on the Microsoft ODBC Driver for SQL Server for low-level communication.

Use cases

• connect to SQL Server from a PHP application
• use PDO with SQL Server in PHP
• query Azure SQL Database from PHP scripts
• read and write SQL Server data from a PHP web app
• install a PHP driver for MSSQL on Linux or Windows
• migrate a PHP app from MySQL to SQL Server

When to choose

• your PHP application must talk to SQL Server or Azure SQL
• you want Microsoft-supported, official drivers with PDO support
• you need pre-compiled PHP extensions for Windows or Linux

When to avoid

• you use MySQL, PostgreSQL, or another database with native PDO drivers
• your PHP version is older than 8.3
• you cannot install the Microsoft ODBC Driver dependency
