Answer
I would suggest that you display the connection error using sqlsrv_errors()
.
Load the PHP drivers in php.ini
file and restart the server.
JavaScript
extension=php_pdo_sqlsrv_54_ts.dll
extension=php_sqlsrv_54_ts.dll
Please see the following example:
JavaScript
<?php
$serverName = "serverNamesqlexpress"; //serverNameinstanceName
// Since UID and PWD are not specified in the $connectionInfo array,
// The connection will be attempted using Windows Authentication.
$connectionInfo = array( "Database"=>"dbName");
$conn = sqlsrv_connect( $serverName, $connectionInfo);
if( $conn ) {
echo "Connection established.<br />";
}else{
echo "Connection could not be established.<br />";
die( print_r( sqlsrv_errors(), true));
}
?>
