(Don't ask me why its available up to PHP 5.6) When dealing with MS SQL you have (out of my limited experience - i avoid it when possible) basically two options: - Using odbc (http://php.net/manual/en/book.uodbc.php) - Using PDO-MS SQL (http://php.net/manual/en/ref.pdo-sqlsrv.php) But one step back: i'm not really sure why there is no port and FreeTDS. If you have some time i will check if i can recreate the php56-mssql port for php70 and php71. After this i can give an answer with greater detail. Greetings, Torsten
