This extension requires the Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Native Client. Access the following URL to download the Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Native Client ODBC driver for x86

I tried to connect from php to SQLSERVER2012 on my ISP's server:

Any Ideas?

Thanks,

Milt

<?PHP

   dl('c:\ppht\php_sqlsrv_53_ts.dll');    $hostname = "dba2012.db.2818339.hostedresource.com";
    $username=$database = "dba2012";
    $password = "Sx3edc4rfv!";
    $connectionInfo = array( "Database"=>"dba2012");     //Connecting to database
    try {
        $connect=sqlsrv_connect($hostname,$connectionInfo);
       if($connect==false) {
         echo "Could not connect.\n";
         die(print_r(sqlsrv_errors(),true));
      }
    } catch (Exception $e) { echo "e->getMessage()=$e->getMessage()"; }
?>

And got the following warning:
