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!
