It's my first time integrating php with SQL Server. The SQL server in context is located on another physical computer on the same LAN. I'm using the configuration explained below:
- php: version 5.5
- SQL Server: 2005 Express
- php drivers: sqlsrv 3.2
- thread safety: disabled
I'm being faced with the error below:
Connection could not be established.
Array ( [0] => Array ( [0] => IMSSP [SQLSTATE] => IMSSP [1] => -49 [code] => -49 [2] => This extension requires the Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Native Client. Access the following URL to download the Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Native Client ODBC driver for x86: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=163712 [message] => This extension requires the Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Native Client.

The code being used follows below:
<?php
$serverName = "TESTSERV\SQLEXPRESS"; //serverName\instanceName
$connectionInfo = array( "Database"=>"dbname", "UID"=>"username", "PWD"=>"password");
$conn = sqlsrv_connect( $serverName, $connectionInfo);
if( $conn ) {
echo "Connection established.<br />";
}else{
echo "Connection could not be established.<br />";
die( print_r( sqlsrv_errors(), true));
}
?>
Can anyone guide me on what needs to be done here in order to successfully connect to the database?
