无法在Windows中使用Laravel连接到SQL Server

Question

I want to use sql server 2017 in laravel 5.7 but I have trouble to connect DB.

the point is I can cannect with simple dbo string like below

try {
$conn = new PDO ("sqlsrv:Server=DESKTOP-PVSDJ8C;Database=Library", "Nazanin", "12569", [])
} catch(PDOException $e) {
    die("Error connecting to SQL Server: " . $e->getMessage());
}

but when I use laravel to connect

Illuminate \\ Database \\ QueryException could not find driver (SQL: select * from [book])

I double check for php extensions and every thing is ok.

Laravel .env

DB_CONNECTION=sqlsrv
DB_HOST=DESKTOP-PVSDJ8C
DB_PORT=1433
DB_DATABASE=Library
DB_USERNAME=Nazanin
DB_PASSWORD=12569 

Answer 1

Change the default driver in in config->database.php from mysql to

 'default' => 'sqlsrv',

If the bug is not resolved, try the second solution

run

php --version

and then install the sybase version,ensure that it matches up with the version that your VM uses:

sudo apt-get install freetds-common freetds-bin unixodbc php7.#-sybase

Hope to help you.
