Description

« Hide

This issue will implement a secondary database driver for the SQL Server 2005 PHP driver written by Microsoft. This driver seeks to replace the outdated and buggy php_mssql module available in the php download. Currently only the May CTP is available, but a release is imminent.

I've been contracted to create the driver for moodle and will take on development myself, providing regular updates and patches.

Hello,

Thanks for the response. I will be reviewing the documentation over the week to regain my bearings.

Is there any possibility for this to be released under the next incremental (1.9.2) as well (or first)? I am expected to complete this project prior to June 20th, 2008.

Hello,
we can not do changes like this in stable branch

If you want to make it work in 1.9.x you will have to write a new adodb driver, I would recommend coordinating it with adodb people upstream.
