Description:
------------
The installation instructions say pdo_sqlsrv only works with Windows. This is not correct. I use it with Linux, have for a while now, and it works great. The documentation might also mention that you can use Unixodbc instead of the Microsoft odbc driver.

Not correct *anymore*. Apparently with PHP 7 there's now support for assorted 'nixes since v4.1.6 and Mac since v4.1.7.

And I suggest the docs now link to the Github repo (and blog?) instead of to microsoft.com.

I thought for sure this also worked with PHP 5.6.x, but don't remember as we switched over from the mssql/freetds route to pdo_sqlsrv at about the same time we moved up to PHP 7.x. I'll try it out tomorrow and report back, I might be wrong...

I stand corrected. Apparently it will not compile with PHP 5.6.33, but compiles just fine with 7.2.2 and 7.2.0. Didn't bother trying with the older 7.x releases.
