  <p>-I have added to the system variable the path to extensions folder.</p>
  
  <p>-I have set the extension in both php.ini files (inside the apache and php folders).</p>
  
  <p>-Extensions have been set like </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>extension=php_sqlsrv_5X_ts.dll<br>
    extension=php_pdo_sqlsrv_5X_ts.dll and like extension=C:/wamp/bin/php/php5.5.12/ext/php_sqlsrv_5X_ts.dll extension=C:/wamp/bin/php/php5.5.12/ext/php_pdo_5X_ts.dll </p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Where <strong>X</strong> means that I have tried 53, 54, 55 and 56.</p>
  
  <p>-I restart all wamp services every single time that I try new changes.</p>
  
  <p>-I have even tried with IISExpress.</p>
  
  <p>-It is still giving me this error and I can't see "sqlsvr" when I use  <code>phpinfo()</code>.</p>
  
  <p>what more I should do? I have been suffering this for weeks.</p>
