Want your PHP scripts to connect to SQL 2005??

Now you can. Microsoft has released a SQL 2005 Driver for PHP CTP.

It is a PHP5 extension that allows you to read and write information/data to a SQL Server 2005 from within PHP Scripts. Isn't that good, one more choice of database for PHP users.

To get it, download from here, Get SQL 2005 Driver for PHP.

Also, IIS7 in Windows Server 2008 is also able to support PHP. Which means, users of PHP now has a new hosting choice (IIS7) and a new database source (SQL 2005).

Another good news for the ability to inter-operate.
