We are excited to announce the Production Ready release for the Microsoft Drivers v4.3.0 for PHP for SQL Server. The drivers now support Debian Jessie and macOS. The driver enables access to SQL Server, Azure SQL Database, and Azure SQL DW from any PHP application on Linux, Windows, and macOS.
Notable items for the release:
Added
- PHP 7.1 support
- Added Unicode Column name support (issue #138)
