What are common issues encountered when integrating mssql functions in PHP 7.1.10?

One common issue encountered when integrating MSSQL functions in PHP 7.1.10 is the lack of support for the deprecated MSSQL extension. To solve this, you can use the PDO (PHP Data Objects) extension with the SQLSRV driver provided by Microsoft. This allows for a more secure and efficient way to connect to MSSQL databases in PHP.

// Connect to MSSQL using PDO
$serverName = "your_server_name";
$connectionOptions = array(
    "Database" => "your_database_name",
    "Uid" => "your_username",
    "PWD" => "your_password"
);
$conn = new PDO("sqlsrv:Server=$serverName;Database=your_database_name", $connectionOptions);
