Early technical preview of Microsoft Drivers 4.0.5 for PHP on Linux for SQL Server Released!

  • Article

Dear PHP Community,

Hi all, we are delighted to share the Preview (4.0.5) of the SQLSRV and PDO_SQLSRV driver (64bit and 32bit) for Linux. Updated Linux drivers are available for applications running PHP7+ on Ubuntu 15.04, Ubuntu 16.04, and RedHat 7.2.

The major highlights of this release is the availability of PECL packages, bug fixes, and PHP 7.1 support.

Here is a summary of the bug fixes and improvements:

  • Fixed segmentation fault when calling PDOStatement::getColumnMeta on RedHat 7.2.
  • Fixed segmentation fault when fetch mode is set to ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES on RedHat 7.2.
  • Fixed issue #139 : sqlsrv_fetch_object calls custom class constructor in static context and outputs an error.

Future Plans

Going forward we plan to put the extensions on PECL, expand SQL 16 Feature Support (example: Always Encrypted), build verification/fundamental tests and bug fixes.

Getting the Preview Refresh

You can find the latest bits on our  Github repository , or via PECL . We provide limited support while in preview on our Github Issues page. As always, we welcome contributions of any kind - Pull Requests, or Feature Enhancements. I’d like to thank everyone on behalf of the team for supporting us in our endeavors to provide you with a high-quality driver. Happy downloading!
