MSSQL SQLSRV PHP Query from SQL View

Question

I am trying to query data from MS SQL 2008 server. I am querying data from a SQL View . Not a SQL table.

Does anyone know if SQLSRV is able to query a View from SQL Server?

Sample code below. Works when I use a Table but not when using a SQL View .

I am using PHP Version 7 along with MS SQL 2008 R2.

Connection

$serverName = "LOC-SVR\SQLEXPRESS"; //serverName\instanceName

$connectionInfo = array( "Database"=>"dbName","UID" => "svc_test","PWD" => "test");
$connect = sqlsrv_connect( $serverName, $connectionInfo);

Query Code

$sql = "SELECT Col1
             , Col2
             , Col3 
        FROM V_TEST_VIEW;"; 

sqlsrv_configure('WarningsReturnAsErrors', 0);

sqlsrv_query($connect,$sql);

$res = sqlsrv_query($connect, $sql, array(), array( "Scrollable" => SQLSRV_CURSOR_KEYSET ));  

while ($row = sqlsrv_fetch_array($res, SQLSRV_FETCH_ASSOC)) 
        {
          echo $row['Col1'];
          echo $row['Col2'];
          echo $row['Col3'];
        }

Result

There is no Error. Only 1 row is returned from the view. In Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, few hundred rows are returned.

Any help is appreciated.

Found a solution. http://php.net/manual/en/function.sqlsrv-fetch-object.php

I am able to query my View using this.

CODE

$sql = "SELECT Col1, Col2, Col3 FROM V_TEST_VIEW";
$stmt = sqlsrv_query( $connect, $sql);
if( $stmt === false ) {
 die( print_r( sqlsrv_errors(), true));
}

// Retrieve each row as an object.
// Because no class is specified, each row will be retrieved as a stdClass object.
// Property names correspond to field names.
while( $obj = sqlsrv_fetch_object( $stmt)) {
  echo "<strong>".$obj->Col1."</strong>, ".$obj->Col2 ."<br />";
}
