Hi all, we are delighted to share the early technical preview of the Microsoft Drivers 4.1.6 for PHP for SQL Server. The new driver enables access to SQL Server, Azure SQL Database and Azure SQL DW from any PHP 7+ application.

The major highlights of this release are:

Added

Merged Linux and Windows code.
Enabled connection pooling with unixODBC. To enable pooling:
- in odbcinst.ini, add Pooling=Yes to the [ODBC] section and a positive CPTimeout value to [ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server] section. See https://www.unixodbc.org/doc/conn_pool.html for detailed instructions.
PECL packages for Windows.

Fixed

Fixed issues with sqlsrv_has_rows() to prevent it from moving statement cursor (issue #37).
Fixed sqlsrv client buffer size to only allow positive integers (issue #228).
Fixed PECL installation errors when PHP was installed from source (issue #213).
Fixed segmentation fault with PDOStatement::getColumnMeta() when the supplied column index is out of range (issue #224).
Fixed the assertion error (Linux) when fetching data from a binary column using the binary encoding (issue #226).
