Hi, I’m on 10.13.2 with PHP 5.6.32. I follow your post with homebrew installation, but I stuck on “make” step. I always get error:

fatal error: too many errors emitted, stopping now [-ferror-limit=]
9 warnings and 20 errors generated.
make: *** [php_mssql.lo] Error 1

Could you tell me how to solved this?
Thanks..

In reply to Eric. I'm on 10.12.6, with PHP 5.6.30, so I've updated the post with that. Should be interoperable with 5.6.24, but YMMV.

May I beg for a compiled mssql.so for php 5.6.24 on Sierra 10.12.5?

In reply to dpetzer.

For: wrong architecture in Unknown on line 0 – this solved my issue:

Recompile freetds using (brew uninstall if necessary)

$ tar zxf freetds-stable.tgz
$ cd freetds-0.91
$ ./configure LDFLAGS=”-arch i386″ CFLAGS=”-arch i386″
$ make
$ sudo make install

Compile mssql extension with

./configure LDFLAGS=”-arch i386″ CFLAGS=”-arch i386″ –with-php-config=/usr/bin/php-config –with-mssql=/usr/local/

Just pointing out that if you are following these directions for php installed via homebrew, the config command needs to be:

./configure –with-php-config=/usr/local/bin/php-config –with-mssql=/usr/local/

Hi,
I followed the tutorial, installed autoconf and freetds. Now I’m not sure about the “Build and install mssql.so” Section. Where it says:

tar zxf php-5.4.17.tar.gz

I don’t have that file. What am I missing?

Thanks for your help. I’m on OS X El Captain

Getting the following error on El Capitain (PHP 5.6.11)

configure: error: Directory /usr/local is not a FreeTDS installation directory

Any help is appreciated!

Hi everyone!

If you’re having problems copying ‘mssql.so’ in OSX El Capitan (10.11.x), specifically with this line:
$ sudo cp modules/mssql.so /usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20100525/
Most likely you’ll get an ‘Operation not permitted’ error, because El Capitan has a ‘Rootless’ safety feature enabled by default.
You can disable it, copy the driver and enable it again.
1. Restart your Mac.
2. Before the Apple logo appears, press Cmd-R to access Recovery Mode.
3. When in Recovery Mode, click ‘Utilities’ then ‘Terminal’
4. In Terminal, run ‘csrutil disable’
5. Restart your Mac
6. Copy your driver file
7. Repeat steps 1-3, and run ‘csrutil enable’
8. Restart one last time. You’ll have ‘Rootless’ protection again.

Cheers

Hi Luke,

Thank you for the article
do you have a compilied mssql.so for php5.6 OS X EL Captain ?

By: Andy Towler

I’ve followed your instructions (using your precompiled mssql.so) and I think I have the mssql extension now working on MAMP with PHP5.5.14. I’m still waiting to get the database password from a colleague but the error I’m getting when calling mssql_connect only refers to the bad password, so I think the extension itself is fine.
However it would be really good to have the PDO MSSQL working as well, and I believe that is a separate extension module (pdo_mssql.so). Do you happen to have a precompiled file suitable for PHP 5.5.14 hanging around that you could send me?

Good post, many thanks.

Managed to create a mssql.so, added reference to php.ini, restarted apache (AMPPS) I found this error in the apache logs.

“PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library ‘/Applications/AMPPS/php-5.5/lib/extensions/ext/mssql.so’ – dlopen(/Applications/AMPPS/php-5.5/lib/extensions/ext/mssql.so, 9): no suitable image found. Did find:\n\t/Applications/AMPPS/php-5.5/lib/extensions/ext/mssql.so: mach-o, but wrong architecture in Unknown on line 0”

Same with the two mssql.so files taht you linked for download.

How do I select which architecture to compile it for. I have a 64 bit system.

Thanks again, this post got me further down the road, if not all the way. :)

In reply to Gabriel Piccin. Without knowing exactly how you've extracted the source, it's a bit hard to help you troubleshoot this one! I do hope you've been able to solve it since you posted.
