Using Sqlsrv for PHP 8.2 – PHP Versions

I have successfully installed PHP 8.2 on Ubuntu 20.04. I am trying to add the SQLSRV extension following these directions.

The installation for SQLSRV completes successfully.

However, when I try to run a function in PHP using SQLSRV extension, I get the error:

"PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library ‘sqlsrv.so’ (tried:
/usr/lib/php/20220829/sqlsrv.so (/usr/lib/php/20220829/sqlsrv.so:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)"

As the error reports, the /usr/lib/php/20220829/ directory does not contain the sqlsrv.so file. Instead the SQLSRV installation places the sqlsrv.so file to the /usr/lib/php/20210902/ directory.

Both the sqlsrv.so and pdo_sqlsrv.so files are automatically installed to the ‘20210902’ directory.

I have tried moving the sqlsrv files to the ‘20220829’ directory, but then I receive an error that I am trying to load two different versions of PHP, ‘20210902’ and ‘20210902’.

Any help to get these extensions working properly would be great!

Listed above are the steps I tried.
