While waiting for approval to downgrade my client’s PHP version to 8.2, I’m wondering if anyone here has found a workaround to enable SQL Server support on PHP 8.3. So far I have managed to connect using php_odbc
, but it has a lot of drawbacks, performance included.
What I’m asking for is workaround, and not recommendations for books, tools, software libraries, and more, because it is not what I needed and certainly don’t meet Stack Overflow guidelines.
So far the contents of Microsoft SQL Server driver download only lists up to PHP 8.2 driver files

Now that SQL Driver that support PHP 8.3 has been released, this question is officially solved. I did found a working workaround, but it's better to use the official driver. To everyone that has offered help, Muchas Gracias!
I am currently on PHP 8.3.0 in my dev environment and I am utilizing Microsoft PHP SQL Driver – BETA driver that works just fine. This may be an acceptable work around for you until they release the production version. I am by no means condoning using this in a production environment, but it is an option.
