Using MS SQL as database?

Hi all,

Trying to install SuiteCRM on a 2008 R2 server with PHP 5.6.5. I want to use an existing SQL server but I only get the “MySQL” option as shown in the screenshot. The php.ini file states “Note that ODBC support is built in, so no dll is needed for it.”. What am I doing wrong?

It means that PHP needs to be configured or an extension is required so that PHP can pick up on the SQL Server db.

Ok, if anyone else comes across this, you need to use these unofficial drivers as MS hasn’t released them for PHP 5.6 yet
