title: PHP 5.5.0 w/ Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 - No sqlsrv_connect()?
body: <p>I have the following environment:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Windows Server 2008 R2</li>
  <li>IIS 7.5</li>
  <li>Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I want to use the new PHP 5.5.0 version, which works just fine per sé, but I can't connect to the MSSQL server due to the lack of current drivers.</p>
  
  <p>For my previous PHP 5.4.15 version, I used the official Microsoft drivers from <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=20098" rel="nofollow">>here&lt;</a>.</p>
  
  <p>Is there yet any possibility to connect from PHP 5.5.0?</p>
