Compile 64-bit SQL Server Driver for PHP - php_sqlsrv.dll

Question

Follow the instructions from  README.TXT of the source code, (http://sqlsrvphp.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=31762)
I can compile 32-bit php_sqlsrv.dll in Visual Studio 2008 easily. But got some errors when I try to create x64 php_sqlsrv.dll.
I can compile x64 PHP 5.3.1 from source code with php_curl, php_zip etc .  without any problem.
when compiling 32-bit php_sqlsrv.dll, in config.w32 ,  need to  remove this line
ADD_FLAG( 'CFLAGS_SQLSRV', '/WX' );  
/WX  flag is not necessary,  makes some trouble.
My machine configuration:
MS Windows 7 64-bit
MS Visual Studio 2008 Professional

If someone has a successful story in x64, Please give me a post.
thanks a lot.
 

Answer 1

The current version of the driver does not support x64. We intend to focus on preparing a 64-bit version of the driver as soon as a compatible (x64) PHP distribution becomes available (as binary or msi). At this time, we have no timeline or schedule for releasing a 64-bit driver.

 

Thank you,

I still hope someone can help me on x64-bit  php_sqlsrv source code.

 

I got some casting errors. (some implicit casting is just fine under 32bit compiling process ,  but raised errors for 64bit programming.)

 

If someone are familiar with the source code,  it will not be a big issue for him to change these implicit casting into explicit casting in stmt.cpp )

 

I will be glad to become the first tester of 64-bit php_sqlsrv.dll,   (I already compiled PHP 5.3.1 x64 bit with a lot common modules on my laptop)

 

thanks a lot again,

1 Year Later....

 

Youhou ???!!! Anybody there ????

Where is the x64 driver ? no ? Not yet ?

 

 

Answer 4

Wanou,

 

Unfortunately, PHP still does not officially support 64-bit distributions. We will re-evaluate the support for a 64-bit PHP Driver for SQL Server if this changes.

 

Thank you,

Hi,

2 years after it's maybe time to launch your sqlsrv Driver.

You can release a beta version without support....

I would be nice to see it coming or at least the source to compile it on 64 bit platform. It is preventing some people from adopting it in 64 bit platforms. I don't mind if does not include any optimizations on running over 64 bit!
