HiveSQL for PHP developers

It is a bit tricky to enable PHP on Linux to work with MS-SQL servers.
Here is a procedure for this to work:
install php-pdo-dblib (if you're using PDO)
then echo "extension=pdo_dblib.so" > /etc/php.d/mssql.ini
then restart your httpd
you also need the ODBC drivers
curl https://packages.microsoft.com/config/rhel/7/prod.repo > /etc/yum.repos.d/mssql-release.repo
 yum remove unixODBC-utf16 unixODBC-utf16-devel #to avoid conflicts
 sudo ACCEPT_EULA=Y yum install msodbcsql17
 sudo pecl install sqlsrv
 sudo pecl install pdo_sqlsrv
You should add "extension=sqlsrv.so" to php.ini
You should add "extension=pdo_sqlsrv.so" to php.ini
Thanks to @drakos for this information.
