Hi all, a week ago I've opened a respective ticket on the php-src bugtracker[1] to ask what is going on with pdo_dblib on Windows. Apparently the extension is no longer shipped with the official Windows builds for many years (roughly dropped as of PHP 5.3 or 5.4), and I consider it unlikely that anybody still builds this extension on Windows for new PHP versions.
>From the PHP manual[2]: | If it is not possible to use SqlSrv, you can use the PDO_ODBC driver | to connect to Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase databases, as the native | Windows DB-LIB is ancient, thread un-safe and no longer supported by | Microsoft. So unless there are objections, I suggest to remove the Windows specific bits of this extension from php-src (i.e. config.w32, and a couple of Windows specific lines in the C code). If this requires an RFC, I'm willing to pursue the process. Thoughts? [1] <https://github.com/php/php-src/issues/15176> [2] <https://www.php.net/pdo_dblib> Christoph
