How install pdo_sqlsrv

[1shot2killz]

Hi,
I have XAMPP 8.2.12 + Ubuntu 22.04 installed.
I need to connect to the MSSQL database.
Please provide a solution on how to install PDO_SQLSRV drivers. Step by step, what to download, what folder to copy to and what file to edit.
I've been trying different guides for two hours now, but nothing works

Thanks

You cannot install pdo_sqlsrv to Xampp, there is no binary package for Xampp Linux. You may ask Bitnami if they include it in future releases.

Is it not possible to manually add the driver and run it?

Thats right,
installing the PDO_SQLSRV driver directly within XAMPP on Ubuntu is not recommended.

You will need to use a separate PHP installation with the PDO_SQLSRV driver.
