README
This repository is the PIE (PHP Installer for Extensions) companion package for the SQLSRV driver, part of the Microsoft Drivers for PHP for SQL Server. PIE is the official replacement for PECL, which is now deprecated.
Install
pie install microsoft/sqlsrv
Windows support (5.13.3+):
pie install microsoft/sqlsrvalso works on Windows. PIE automatically downloads the matching pre-built DLL for your PHP version, thread-safety (TS/NTS), and architecture from this repository's GitHub release, so no manual DLL setup is required. For 5.13.2 and earlier, use the pre-built DLLs shipped with the main driver releases instead.
