Early technical preview of Microsoft Drivers 4.0.2 for PHP on Linux for SQL Server Released!

  • Article

Hi all, we are delighted to share the Preview (4.0.2) of the SQLSRV and PDO_SQLSRV driver (64bit and 32bit) for Linux. Updated Linux drivers are available for Ubuntu 15.04, Ubuntu 16.04, and RedHat 7.2.

Here is a summary of the bug fixes and improvements:

  • The PDO_SQLSRV driver no longer requires PDO to be built as a shared extension.
  • Fixed an issue with format specifiers in error messages.
  • Fixed a segmentation fault when using buffered cursors.
  • Fixed an issue whereby calling sqlsrv_rows_affected on an empty result set would return a null result instead of 0.
  • Fixed an issue with error messages when there is an error in sizes in SQLSRV_SQLTYPE_*.

Future Plans

Going forward we plan to improve teh quality of the Linux drivers, expand SQL 16 Feature Support for both Windows and Linux (example: Always Encrypted), build verification/fundamental tests, bug fixes.
