# MSSQL-Compat

MSSQL Compat is a small and simple drop-in library that allows your pre-7 PHP project, that uses MSSQL via mssql_* functions ( eg mssql_connect() et al ), to work transparently with PDO DBLib by providing the missing functions as wrappers around the equivalent PDO syntax - and all that with a single line!

## The story

I recently started migrating internal web applications to new servers that use PHP7.

Thus I stumbled on a couple of old applications that use MSSQL with PHP, which I dearly hoped to avoid rewriting and debugging now that PHP7 has deprecated the mssql_* family of functions.

*The result* is this single-file solution: just include it before your first mssql_* call, and it will transparently wrap them to the equivalent PDO calls.

## What it is ***not***

 - This library is *not* a security enhancement by any measure. It assumes that your program logic escapes what needs to be escaped, since you cannot benefit from PDO goodness without changing the function syntax.

   - That being said, kindly let me know if you can provide better security in the given code.

 - It is **not** meant as a means to develop new software in PHP7 using mssql_* functions - use PDO or similar!

## Requirements

MSSQL-Compat requires the bare basics for PHP7 to be able to talk to MSSQL - namely:

  - [PHP7]

  - [PDO] ( usually via the php-pdo package )

  - [PDO DBLib] installed

> *Hint*: All of the above are easily usable via repos such as [IUS] or [Remi]

## How to use

### Option A: Manually

Just download and add an include to this library on the top of the old application `index.php` file.

```php

  

  [PDO]: 

  [PDO DBLib]: 

  [IUS]: 

  [Remi]:
