Topic: Selecting the correct versions of PHP, SQL driver, Apache ?

[akc42]

A year or so ago I downloaded the win32 versions of apache2.4 from here and php5.4 from somewhere (maybe from here I am not sure) to set up a simple Apache setup with php access via pdo to a SQL server instance. This was running on Windows Server 2003

I got the sql server driver as a dll from here

This has died and been replaced with Windows Server 2012 and I need to find the correct replacements. This also now runs SQL Server Express 2012.

As far as I can tell there are no new versions of the SQL Server driver dll, so I need to select versions of Apache and PHP that are compatible with it. (I don't feel competent to compile something from scratch)

I am confused about the different VC versions (I normally work on linux where this issue has already been addressed via the distribution). I also think I am probably limited to Win32.

Can someone explain to me which particular binaries of Apache and PHP I need so I can just drop the dll I have into the correct directory - fixup the php.ini file and have it work.

Alternatively point me at a more recent version of the sql server driver that I could use.

Thanks

For PHP 5.5 I haven't seen it yet, but for 5.3 and 5.4 there is http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=20098

I never tried them, but they are in my 5.5 build (x86 only):
