drivers to communicate with MS SQL database using php 5.5

Question

I'm having trouble finding drivers that support PHP 5.5 when communicating with a MS SQL database. I've found Mssql supports up to 5.3 ("This extension is not available anymore on Windows with PHP 5.3 or later.") and the SQLSRV drivers only support up to 5.4. I understand there is an "experimental" version supporting 5.5, but said drivers need to be PCI compliant. Would my only solution be to downgrade my php version? Any assistance?

We are all still waiting for Microsoft to respond and publish a PHP 5.5 driver for SQL Server. Here is the Connect entry for this request.

There is an unofficial driver compiled for PHP 5.5 that you can find here (please read the thread).

I can attest that this works, I've employed this to get PHP 5.5 + SQL Server 2014 working with Brandoo Wordpress.
