Comments on: Finally a working SQL Server Driver for PHP 5.3 http://jimmyli.net/2009/09/finally-a-working-sql-server-driver-for-php-5-3/ Join the dark side Wed, 08 Sep 2010 07:45:31 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Jimmy http://jimmyli.net/2009/09/finally-a-working-sql-server-driver-for-php-5-3/comment-page-1/#comment-273 Jimmy Sat, 10 Oct 2009 08:23:41 +0000 http://jimmyli.net/?p=52#comment-273 Jay, Thanks for the personal notification of the final version of the SQL Server Driver. Now that you mentioned it, indeed I was using the CTP version. I've updated to the latest and haven't run into any issues yet. I'm glad that Microsoft is making a lot of progress in adding support for more open source projects such as PHP. Having a high quality driver for SQL Server in PHP definitely gives non-.NET programmers (like me) more confidence to producing more reliable PHP web solutions in enterprises that mainly use SQL Server for their internal software. Keep up the good work! Jay,

(I work in the group that produces the driver.) I would like to point out there is a newer version of the SQL Server Driver for PHP. The date of this post is 9/27, so I'm not sure you're aware that we released the final version on 10/6. It is at the same link you have in the message. That link before went to a preview release, or CTP as we call it. The final release is a higher quality release overall. I would also like to point out there is a newer version of the SQL Server 2008 Native Client available, from April 2009, at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=B33D2C78-1059-4CE2-B80D-2343C099BCB4. Thanks, and if you have problems, please let us know on our MSDN forum so we can help. Glad you enjoy the new driver. (I work in the group that produces the driver.)
