使用在XP / IIS上运行的PHP连接到MS SQL Server 2008

Question

I'm trying to connect to MSSQL 2008 from a (LAN) XP machine running IIS 5.1 & PHP 5.3.

I tried following this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/5432118

Problems started when I had no snapshot.txt , however as I am running IIS and PHP as FastCGI extension I am fairly confident I need the non-threadsafe dll ?

Anyway, I downloaded SQLSRV30.EXE and extracted php_sqlsrv_53_nts.dll to my ext dir and added the extension to my php.ini . I also confirmed the extension_dir was correct & installed Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Native Client before restarting IIS.

Unfortunately phpinfo() does not list sqlsrv as a loaded extension and I am now totally lost so any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks

Ok, so I eventually got the the bottom of it so I thought I'd report back and hopefully save some else a head ache....

In my php.ini I set display_startup_errors = On , restarted IIS and reloaded the page. At this point I got the magic nugget of information that for some reason was not being added to the log Fatal error: Unable to load Library........error: Access is denied .

So I navigated to the ext dir and selected the extension

Right Click > Properties > Security

And added permissions for Users & Power Users - restarted IIS and boom sqlsrv was loaded.
