Ubuntu PHP and sqlsrv_connect()

Question

I'm using a class that uses `sqlsrv_connect()` in PHP to connect to a MSSQL database server, but I always get this error: ``` Fatal error: Call to undefined function sqlsrv_connect() ``` I’ve done multiple install methods such as: ``` sudo apt-get install -y freetds-bin freetds-common tdsodbc odbcinst unixodbc php5-sybase ``` Restarted apache but none of them seem to solve the problem of the libraries being added. Can help give some guidance on the problem? I'm using: ``` PHP 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.1 with Suhosin-Patch (cli) (built: May 4 2012 02:20:36) ```

Accepted Answer

Linux based PHP does not support the `sqlsrv_*` functions. Those are only provided by the Windows driver. FreeTDS will provide you with access to the old `mssql_*` functions.
