What potential issues could arise when using PHP on a Windows Server with IIS for database connections?

One potential issue that could arise when using PHP on a Windows Server with IIS for database connections is compatibility issues with the database driver. To solve this issue, you can ensure that the correct database driver is installed and configured in the PHP configuration file. 

// Example code snippet to specify the database driver in PHP
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
$dbname = "database_name";

// Specify the database driver for MySQL
$dsn = "mysql:host=$servername;dbname=$dbname";

// Create a PDO connection
try {
    $conn = new PDO($dsn, $username, $password);
    // set the PDO error mode to exception
    $conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
    echo "Connected successfully";
} catch(PDOException $e) {
    echo "Connection failed: " . $e->getMessage();
}
