What steps should be taken to ensure that the necessary DLL files for SQL Server version 2.0 are properly loaded in PHP?

To ensure that the necessary DLL files for SQL Server version 2.0 are properly loaded in PHP, you need to make sure that the SQLSRV extension is enabled in your PHP configuration file (php.ini) and that the required DLL files are located in the extension directory specified in the php.ini file. Additionally, you may need to download and install the Microsoft ODBC Driver for SQL Server to enable the SQLSRV extension to communicate with the SQL Server database. 

// Check if SQLSRV extension is enabled
if (!extension_loaded('sqlsrv')) {
    echo "SQLSRV extension is not enabled. Please enable it in your php.ini file.";
}

// Check if the required DLL files are loaded
if (!file_exists('ext/php_sqlsrv.dll')) {
    echo "php_sqlsrv.dll file not found. Make sure the DLL files are located in the extension directory specified in php.ini.";
}

// Check if the Microsoft ODBC Driver for SQL Server is installed
if (!function_exists('sqlsrv_connect')) {
    echo "Microsoft ODBC Driver for SQL Server is not installed. Please download and install it to enable the SQLSRV extension.";
}
