Enabling Azure MSSQL Server SRV PDO
At Scriptcase, we have the following drivers available for connection to Azure MSSQL Server: MSSQL Server NATIVE SRV, MSSQL Server NATIVE SRV PDO and MSSQL Server ODBC . If you are using your own pre-configured environment, the MSSQL Server extensions must be enabled manually in PHP.
Prerequisites
Before proceeding with this documentation, check your PHP architecture. For drivers to be enabled correctly, files must be downloaded according to the architecture used.
- In your Scriptcase, there is the file info.php, access it by the URL:
http://127.0.0.1:8092/scriptcase/info.php, where you will find the information regarding the architecture in phpinfo().
NOTE: If you are using Scriptcase’s automatic installer, the PHP architecture will be the same as the one you downloaded. Download Microsoft ODBC Driver 11 For SQL Server according to your PHP architecture .
- Architecture x86 = 32 bits
- Architecture x64 = 64 bits
Listed below are the necessary files for the drivers to be enabled.
Required files:
x64
- Microsoft ODBC Driver 11 For SQL Server (x64): Click Here
x86
- Microsoft ODBC Driver 11 For SQL Server (x86): Click Here

IMPORTANT: if you need to use Database Identifiers in your tables, we recommend using the double quotation marks( “ ) instead of the brackets( [ ] ) because of the conflict with the of Global Variables syntax Scriptcase. Using the brackets as database identifiers may lead to problems in the Scriptcase applications.

IMPORTANT: If you are using Scriptcase’s automatic installer, the extensions are already enabled in PHP, requiring only the installation of the client. Proceed to item 3.
1 - Extract the .zip file and copy the files from the php_pdo_sqlsrv_73_nts_x64 and php_sqlsrv_73_nts_x64 .dll extensions previously downloaded to your PHP’s ext folder.
2 - In the php.ini file, located in C:\php, add the lines referring to the MSSQL Server extensions php_pdo_sqlsrv_73_nts_x64 and php_sqlsrv_73_nts_x64. See the example below:
extension=php_pdo_sqlsrv_73_nts_x64
extension=php_sqlsrv_73_nts_x64
