Answer 1

Looks like you've tried to install the sqlsrv extension for php 5.3 on a php 5.2 system.

Either run <?php phpinfo(); ?> and look for the php version and look for the following entries:

• PHP Version
• Thread Safety

pick the appropriate .dll from the sqlsrv driver: the version number must match and if thread safety is enabled pick the ts version, if not pick the nts version.

Answer 2

For anyone trying to get it to work with PHP 5.5 (PHP compiled with module API=20121212) then you can replace the dlls in the ext folder with new updated binaries >here<

Don't forget to enable the new dlls in the php configuration.
