Help will be appreciated.
I am stuck and I am facing an error of Invalid DB driver Error. I had done research from my end. I had installed the driver of sqlsvr
and add the extensions in php.ini
file. I believe the driver is okay with the PHP version.
extension=php_pdo_sqlsrv_71_ts.dll
and extension=php_sqlsrv_71_ts.dll
in php.ini file. Then I try to make a connection with Codeigniter Database.
$active_group = 'default'; $query_builder = TRUE;
$db['default'] = array(
'dsn' => '',
'hostname' => 'DESKTOP-Q52QI3K',
'username' => 'noman',
'password' => 'noman',
'database' => 'TestDB',
'dbdriver' => 'sqlsvr',
'dbprefix' => '',
'pconnect' => TRUE,
'db_debug' => TRUE,
'cache_on' => FALSE,
'cachedir' => '',
'char_set' => 'utf8',
'dbcollat' => 'utf8_general_ci',
'swap_pre' => '',
'encrypt' => FALSE,
'compress' => FALSE,
'stricton' => FALSE,
'failover' => array(),
'save_queries' => TRUE
);
I have this database on my local SQL server management tool. I am still facing the Invalid DB driver
error.
After lot of research, I found an alternate solution. I would like to share it, in future may be it will help someone.
$serverName = "IP_Address";
$connectionInfo = array( "Database"=>"DBName", "UID"=>"Username", "PWD"=>"Password");
$conn = sqlsrv_connect( $serverName, $connectionInfo );
if( $conn === false ) {
die( print_r( sqlsrv_errors(), true));
}else{
echo "connected";
}
I use the custom php connection with sql database.
