Early technical preview of Microsoft Drivers 4.0.4 for PHP on Linux for SQL Server Released!

  • Article

Hi all, we are delighted to share the Preview (4.0.4) 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:

  • Added following integer SQL Types constants for cases which function-like SQL types constants cannot be used e.g. type comparison:
    Note: These constants should be used in type comparison operations (refer to issue #87 and #99 ), and don't replace the function like constants with the similar syntax, for binding parameters you should use the function-like constants, otherwise you'll get an error.phprelease
  • Fixed undefined symbols at SQL* error when loading the drivers.
  • Fixed undefined symbol issues at LocalAlloc and LocalFree on RedHat7.2.
  • Fixed issue #144 (floating point exception).
  • Fixed issue #119 (modifying class name in sqlsrv_fetch_object).
  • Added support for EMULATE_PREPARE feature.

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.
