pdo dblib on centos 6.x

Question

I am trying to install dblib on CentOS release 6.5 (Final) 64bit. centos 6 does not have freetds so I had to get freetds from elsewhere. freetds-devel-0.91-2.1.x86_64.rpm. using pecl to download and instal PDO DBLIB but i get stuck at make. the error i receive is as follows.

[root@rajesh PDO_DBLIB-1.0]# make

I have tried to change function_entry to zend_function_entry in pdo_dblib.cbut does not work as mentioned in http://www.radebatz.net/mano/2013/11/05/compiling-pdo_dblib-on-centos-6-with-php-5-4/.

I have also tried

Seems like it is not picking up the include dir.

I have managed to install PDO DBLIB using the follwoing configure command ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/freetds --with-gnu-ld --with-pdo-dblib=/usr/local/freetds. How ever on my web application i keep getting. CDbConnection failed to open the DB connection: SQLSTATE[HY000] Unable to connect: Adaptive Server is unavailable or does not exist (severity 9)

Answer 1

The easy way to achieve that:

1. Enable EPEL repository
2. Install php-mssql. That will install unixODBC and freetds, too.

# yum install php-mssql

Then, you can connect from PHP + PDO (using the dblib driver) from CentOS to your MSSQL server

$dsn = "dblib:host=<host>;dbname=<dbname>";
$user = <user>;
$password = <password>;
$db = new PDO($dsn, $user, $password);

Dockerfile example, but should also work with any CentOS6+ and PHP 7.0:

FROM centos:centos7

RUN yum -y install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm\
# We include PHP 7 from REMI since it's not in EPEL.
    http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm\
# This will help verify packages and so you will see fewer errors(red) in the build output.
 && rpm --import \
      /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-7\
      /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-remi\
      /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-7\
# Spedify which version of PHP 7 to install here
 && yum-config-manager --enable remi,remi-php70\
 && yum -y install php-mssql
