Answer 1

Thanks everybody for the help. I have resolved my problem by simply connect MSSQL with ODBC diver, which is come together with PHP7 You need to make sure you have

/ etc/odbc.ini

[SomeName]
Description = " SomeName "
Driver = FreeTDS
Trace = No
Servername = TestServer
Database = dbname
UserName = username
Password = pass

[Default]
Driver = /usr/lib64/libtdsS.so.1

/etc/freetds.conf

[TestServer]
host =dbhostname
port = 1433
client charset = UTF-8
tds version = 8.0

And then in php

     $db = new PDO("odbc: SomeName ", " username ", " pass");
$sql = " select *…….”
$stmt = $db->prepare($sql);
        $stmt->execute();
