我可以使用 PHP SQL 服务器扩展连接到 MySQL 数据库吗？

Question

I want to test some SQL server functions like sqlsrv_connect, i installed sqlsrv driver succesfully, is it possible to use the sqlsrv_connect function to connect to a MySQL database or do i have to install a MS SQL Server ?

Thank you

Answer 1

Quoting the PHP Manual :

The SQLSRV extension allows you to access Microsoft SQL Server and SQL Azure databases when running PHP on Windows.

So, you have to install a MS SQL Server. Because that's what the extension is for.

Answer 2

sqlsrv_connect only connects to a MS SQL Server. You need to use either PDO or mysqli to connect to MySql from PHP
