The SQL Server Driver for PHP is now available via the Web Platform Installer 2.0 Beta!

PHPSQL-Driver

I like to connect things, I always have. Early in my career as a developer things got build and no one ever considered application integration until after the fact.

When I started at Microsoft in 2001 nobody was integrating ASP.NET and PHP applications and it seemed like a natural thing to want to do to me.

I prefer ASP.NET for new web development but like many of the existing PHP applications like Drupal.

I’ve been doing it ever since and Microsoft’s SQL Driver for PHP makes it much easier to do.

Now you can install the latest version with the Microsoft Web Platform Installer

Get it here http://www.microsoft.com/Web/downloads/

    Are there any advantages left for LAMP?

    Joe, is the WebPI downloading available components to install somehow (webservice, xml, etc.) or do we have to download it every time to get the latest available components?

    No, you download the Installer once.

    It is much easier for us to install and maintain php on windows, but I don't think php run on iis very well so far.

    To the contrary. It runs VERY well and FAST ! The 5.3 bits look like they will be faster on Windows than on Linux.
