Connect via PHP to SQL Server 2012

Question

My problem has a couple things:

• I got a website constructed in joomla, hosted on linux server (that means that sqlsrv doesn't work because it's made for windows only, and the host administrator already informed me that they can't install any php extension).
• I got a C# program, and my database is hosted on Amazon (SQL Server 2012).

To resume, i need to connect my website to my SQL database program to show data, and modify it, etc etc, on web.

So, if you guys have any ideia how can i make it, i really appreciate that.

Best regards, Hélder Lopes

Answer 1

I recommend to install the php module :

If there is no way, move your database to your website's hosting (converting db to mysql), and make your C# program use mysql and point it to the website database.
good luck.
