With Microsoft having their own PHP extension for talking to MSSQL (http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2005/en/us/PHP-Driver.aspx - though documented to only support SQL 2005 and 2008, not 7 or 2000), could this become the standard alternative for php_mssql.dll (though not PDO as the MS extension is procedural only, leaving ODBC as the route for older versions?
I do not see us adding a new RDBMS specific extension that only works on one OS (that is not even our main target OS in practice for deployment) for an RDBMS that is also quite a niche solution for PHP. Actually the only RDBMS where I am willing to currently consider a new non PDO extension sqlite.
As such I do not think we should consider bundling this extension, let alone have it replace the php_mssql.dll.
