Specification
1. Wamp Server 2.0 with PHP 5.2
2. CodeIgniter 2.1/2.2
3. SQL Server 2005/2008
Download
First
2. Download SQL Native Client 2008 (Native Client 10) which is
compatible for SQL Server 2005/2008 (download here)
How to
connect CodeIgniter to SQL Server 2005 using SQLsrv driver
1. Install / Upgrade your SQL
Native Client to 2008 SP3 (Native Client 10), then restart your computer
2. Stop your Wamp Server to copy dll file
3. Install or extract
sqlsrv dll files , you don’t have to copy all of the files , choose the
files that have same version with your installed PHP version, in this case I
will copy
php_pdo_sqlsrv_52_ts_vc6.dll
php _sqlsrv_52_ts_vc6.dll
Then I’ll copy the files into :
…\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.5\ext
4.
Next , I will edit php.ini , the location of the file is in
..\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.8\bin
and adding these lines in extension configuration section :
extension=php_pdo_sqlsrv_52_ts_vc6.dll
extension=php_sqlsrv_52_ts_vc6.dll
5. Start the wamp service
6. Create test.php
(not codeigniter file) the file will be used to test the connection (it’s common native PHP Script )
Adjust
with your own host/database/user/password setting in SQL Server
<?php
$serverName =
"SISINDOTEK\PRIMAVERA"; //serverName\instanceName
$connectionInfo = array(
"Database"=>"cisqldb",
"UID"=>"sa", "PWD"=>"sa");
$conn = sqlsrv_connect( $serverName,
$connectionInfo);
if( $conn ) {
echo "Connection established.<br />";
}else{
echo "Connection could not be established.<br />";
die( print_r( sqlsrv_errors(), true));
}
?>
7.
If the Connection established.
You may try to setup your codeigniter database configuration file (database.php) in
…\wamp\www\yourWebfolder\application\config
8. Change the configuration such as mention bellowed (Use your own configuration !)
9. Don’t forget to change the value of $db['default']['pconnect'] = FALSE;
$active_group = 'default';
$active_record = TRUE;
$db['default']['hostname'] = 'SISINDOTEK\PRIMAVERA';
$db['default']['username'] = 'sa';
$db['default']['password'] = 'sa';
$db['default']['database'] = 'cisqldb';
$db['default']['dbdriver'] = 'sqlsrv';
$db['default']['dbprefix'] = '';
$db['default']['pconnect'] = FALSE;
$db['default']['db_debug'] = TRUE;
$db['default']['cache_on'] = FALSE;
$db['default']['cachedir'] = '';
$db['default']['char_set'] = 'utf8';
$db['default']['dbcollat'] =
'utf8_general_ci';
$db['default']['swap_pre'] = '';
$db['default']['autoinit'] = TRUE;
$db['default']['stricton'] = FALSE;
Save the file and now you may try to
run your codeigniter web that connected to SQL Server by using sqlsrv dll
driver
