I have just tried to install that extension on my dev server.
First, make sure that the extension is correctly enabled. Your phpinfo()
output doesn’t seem complete.

If you do not get that section in your phpinfo()
. Make sure that you are using the right version. There are both non-thread-safe and thread-safe versions of the extension.
Finally, check your extension_dir
setting. By default it’s this: extension_dir = "ext"
, for most of the time it works fine, but if it doesn’t try: extension_dir = "C:\PHP\ext"
.

EDIT given new info:
You are using the wrong function. mssql_connect()
is part of the Mssql extension. You are using microsoft’s extension, so use sqlsrv_connect()
, for the API for the microsoft driver, look at SQLSRV_Help.chm
which should be extracted to your ext
directory when you extracted the extension.
