SQL Support PHP 5.3

[escofield]

PHP 5.3 no longer supports MSSQL.

I have downloaded the latest Mantis from the nightly builds.
mantisbt-1.3.0dev-2011-03-07-master-8e6efc6.zip

I have downloaded Microsofts version 2.0 from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/d ... AE6CF2CA05

Added the extension in PHP.ini
extension=php_sqlsrv_53_nts_vc9.dll

To my surprise install.php still did not connect to the database. After further reading I find that Microsoft did not implement the same API as MSSQL, gee, well that is not a surprise.

Reviewing the Mantis code I see it is still using the MSSQL API calls. Is there plans to support the new SQL driver from microsoft? has anyone already converted the code?

Is there a current workaround?

Thank you!

There are developers thinking about a replacement of the currently used database abstraction layer (adodb)
I recommend to sent your question to the developer mailing list
