As promised, here is an early preview of the 64bit SQLSRV driver.
64-bit support is now available for the SQLSRV driver. We also have some additional minor improvements to share:
• Fixed the ability to retrieve strings as an output parameter
• Fixed a number of memory leaks in initialization
We are also working aggressively on the 64bit PDO and 32bit PDO driver, and you should expect to see updates from us in the coming weeks.
Please let us know if you have any questions/concerns.
Thanks,
Microsoft PHP Drivers for SQL Server team
