Doc #75966 [Ver]: Incorrect documentation - says pdo_sqlsrv works on Windows only

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=75966&edit=1 ID: 75966 User updated by: php at zootal dot com Reported by: php at zootal dot com Summary: Incorrect documentation - says pdo_sqlsrv works on Windows only Status: Verified Type: Documentation Problem Package: pdo_sqlsrv Operating System: Linux - Slackware 14.2 PHP Version: 7.2.2 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: I thought for sure this also worked with PHP 5.6.x, but don't remember as we switched over from the mssql/freetds route to pdo_sqlsrv at about the same time we moved up to PHP 7.x. I'll try it out tomorrow and report back, I might be wrong... Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-02-15 22:20:50] requinix@php.net Not correct *anymore*. Apparently with PHP 7 there's now support for assorted 'nixes since v4.1.6 and Mac since v4.1.7. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqlphp/ https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql And I suggest the docs now link to the Github repo (and blog?) instead of to microsoft.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-02-15 19:39:09] php at zootal dot com Description: ------------ The installation instructions say pdo_sqlsrv only works with Windows. This is not correct. I use it with Linux, have for a while now, and it works great. The documentation might also mention that you can use Unixodbc instead of the Microsoft odbc driver. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=75966&edit=1
