Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.sqlsrv-connect
---
I noticed that you don't really need to put the instance name in connection 
string.
In my case (SQL Server 2008 R2 on Windows Server 2008 as database server, using a 
php 5.3.14 and Windows Server 2003 with IIS 6.0 as web server), this function 
don't let me put the instance name at string connection. It throws an error: Error 
Locating Server/Instance Specified.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
// When I take the instance name off, it works.
$serverName = "192.168.0.11\SVDCBD01";
$connectionInfo = array( "Database"=>"CorporeRM", "UID"=>"planilha", "PWD"=>"planilha");
$conn = sqlsrv_connect( $serverName, $connectionInfo);
if( $conn ) {
     echo "Connection established.<br />";
}else{
     echo "Connection could not be established.<br />";
     die( print_r( sqlsrv_errors(), true));
}
?>

Expected result:
----------------
Connection established.

Actual result:
--------------

So far as I can tell, this is an issue with your connection parameters, as 
opposed to incorrect documentation.

If you can demonstrate that a modification of your $serverName parameter with the 
same essential information results in a successful connection, such that the 
documentation is incorrect, please do so.

I don't know how I can demonstrate it to you. But I just tested it again and I 
got the same error:
<?php
$serverName = "192.168.0.11";
$connectionInfo = array( "Database"=>"CorporeRM", "UID"=>"planilha", 
"PWD"=>"planilha");
$conn = sqlsrv_connect( $serverName, $connectionInfo);
if( $conn ) {
     echo "Connection established.<br />";
}else{
     echo "Connection could not be established.<br />";
     die( print_r( sqlsrv_errors(), true));
}
?>

Result:
Connection established.

With the serverName:
<?php
$serverName = "192.168.0.11\SVDCBD01";
$connectionInfo = array( "Database"=>"CorporeRM", "UID"=>"planilha", 
"PWD"=>"planilha");
$conn = sqlsrv_connect( $serverName, $connectionInfo);
if( $conn ) {
     echo "Connection established.<br />";
}else{
     echo "Connection could not be established.<br />";
     die( print_r( sqlsrv_errors(), true));
}
?>

Result:
Connection could not be established.
