Early technical preview of Microsoft Drivers 4.0.7 for PHP on Linux for SQL Server Released!

  • Article

Dear PHP Community,

We are excited to announce that PECL packages for Linux SQLSRV and PDO_SQLSRV drivers (4.0.7) are available. You can also find pre-compiled binaries (4.0.7) with PHP 7.0.13 for Ubuntu 15.04, Ubuntu 16.04, and RedHat 7 here.

Here is a summary of the bug fixes and improvements:

  • Fixed string truncation error when inserting long strings.
  • Fixed querying from large column name.
  • Fixed issue with trailing garbled characters in string retrieval.
  • Fixed issue with detecting invalid UTF-16 strings coming from server.
  • Fixed issues with binding input text, ntext, and image parameters.
  • Ported buffered cursor to Linux.
  • Note: SQLSRV_ENC_CHAR only supports ASCII characters (ASCII code 0 to127).

 

Going forward we plan to 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!
