Answer 1

To install SQLSRV 3.0 to Apache (I assume) in Windows platform, here are the steps:

1. Put the driver file in your PHP extension directory.
2. Modify the php.ini file to include the driver. For example: extension=php_sqlsrv_53_nts_vc9.dll
3. Restart Apache

Then, verify the installation using phpinfo().
