Fatal error: Call to undefined function sqlsrv_connect() in php 5.6.25

Question

OS : Windows 8.1

Web Server : WAMPSERVER 3.0.6

PHP Version : 5.6.25

Goal : To establish MYSQL Database connection using PHP

What has been done:

• Downloaded SQLSRV Drivers ( SQLSRV32.EXE )
• Copied files php_pdo_sqlsrv_56_ts.dll and php_sqlsrv_56_ts.dll to the directory "C:\\wamp64\\bin\\php\\php5.6.25\\ext"
• extension_dir = "c:/wamp64/bin/php/php5.6.25/ext/"

• Added the following lines to the dynamic extensions part in the php.ini file:

  • extension=php_pdo_sqlsrv_56_ts.dll
  • extension=php_sqlsrv_56_ts.dll

• Restarted Web Server

But: phpinfo() is not listed in sqlsrv()

Code:

$myServer = "(local)";
$myUser = "sa";
$myPass = "pass";
$myDB = "example_db";
$connectionInfo = array("Database"=>$myDB, "UID" => $myUser, "PWD" => $myPass);
$conn = sqlsrv_connect($myServer, $connectionInfo);

Error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function sqlsrv_connect() in
C:\wamp64\www\optimum_p\common\dbconnect.php on line 6
