exception 'PDOException' with message 'could not find driver' SQLSRV Laravel Artisan CLI

I am running php 5.5 on a Windows Server 2008. I am using the Laravel 4.0 framework for the application. I am connecting to a SQL SRV database via PDO, when executed via http there is no issue, connections are made data is called and updated without issue.

However when calling a command from Artisan (Laravel's CLI tool) I get the following error in the log:

log.ERROR: exception 'PDOException' with message 'could not find driver' in C:\inetpub\MBSWeb\postsrch\vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Database\Connectors\Connector.php:47

The PDO SQLSRV lib is installed, see the below screenshot of the phpinfo(), and as I've already said I can connection without issue when using the application via http;

My php info.

Why is the PDO connection working fine via http but not in CLI? Please note I'm using the exact same set of code, one is called from a Laravel controller, the other from a Laravel command.

php cli and php cgi use different php.ini files. Try php -i | grep pdo to see if pdo is installed for your cli, see php -i | grep "Loaded Configuration File"

The answer above is correct, but just to clarify:

  1. Open your console and execute:

    php -i | grep "Loaded Configuration File"

  2. That will give you the folder directory where you php-cli.ini is (Laravel Commands use a different php.ini than the one used by HTTP requests)

  3. Go to that file, and make sure it has this:

    extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll

  4. Restart your server and try again. That worked for me, hope it helps.
