   Hello, I am confused from what I have read about php 5.3.10 mssql is not used any more and sqlsvr is used instead

   my environment is
   windows 7 32-bit
   apache 2.2
   php 5.3.10 thread safe
   sql server 2005 on another machine

   I have in my php.ini file
   extension=php_sqlsrv_52_ts_vc9.dll

   so I am not sure what the error below is telling me
   have I missed some step?

   Checking PHP Version
   OK
   PHP version 5.3.10 found.
   Checking Database PHP Extensions
   Failed
   Either PHP extension mysql or mssql must be installed.

   Is there some place that will tell me a little more information?
   Thank you

   PHP has couple of ways talking to SQL Server in Windows environment: the mssql-extension using FreeTDS (implemented in php_dblib.dll) and Microsoft's own php_sqlsrv. myDBR uses mssql-extension as it is supported in multiple platforms whereas php_sqlsrv is Windows only. (There was also an old mssql-extension php_msssql, which is no longer supported.)

   To get myDBR talking to SQL Server you need to install the php_dblib.dll extension and enable it in your php.ini. If your setup does not have php_dblib.dll included you can download it from Moodle's website.

   Check the web server / PHP error log for any errors.

   You should see mssql-section in phpinfo after an successful installation.
