Microsoft Drivers for PHP for SQL Server 2.0 added to AppliedI-Labs

One of the great features of AppliedI-Labs is that we’re able to load new technology onto servers extremely early. I’m pleased to announce that just a couple days ago the Microsoft Drivers for PHP for SQL Server 2.0 were released and are already available on our AppliedI-Labs environment and will soon be made available across all of our production servers. Included in this release is support for PHP Data Objects (PDO), the ability to leverage SQL Server’s Reporting Services and Business Intelligence capabilities and the ability to connect to SQL Azure.
