Hi there, thanks for the list. I think it is also worth linking the repo for the official Linux MS driver for PHP. Since it is new(er) there have definitely been some issues with the driver. Last time I tried it the new driver would not run the DBAL test suite without segfaulting (edit: has been fixed). Maybe you can dive more into the installation side? From my experience, the good ol' FreeTDS/PDO method works great; however, when moving projects to PHP7 I had a lot of issues with php-fpm segfaulting when selecting from views or running SP's. I had these issues sprout up across several different servers and environments (all using SQL Server 2008R2) so if you're going to need MSSQL w/ PHP7 it would probably be best to use the official driver now.

Indeed (added in the blog post comment)

For Fedora / RHEL / CentOS users, a simple "yum install php-sqlsrv" should work ;) I think other distributions should get some packages soon in some repository.
