title: How can I connect to Sql Server from a Mac with PHP PDO?
body: <p>If you search Google for this question, you will find a lot of incorrect, misleading, and outdated information.  Surprisingly, there isn't a solid answer on Stack Overflow, so we should change that.</p>
  
  <p>I am using the Mac port installation of Apache and PHP.  I have installed php5-mssql, and I can see mssql on my phpinfo() page.</p>
  
  <p>But I don't see it listed under PDO.</p>
  
  <pre><code>PDO support enabled
  PDO drivers     dblib, mysql, odbc, pgsql 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is mssql not associated with PDO?  Is there another driver that can be used on a Mac to connect to a SqlServer database using PDO?  Seems like this is something that should be possible.</p>
