Php 5.6 Driver for Windows Server 2008 R2

Good Day - This is what I am trying to do at the Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1:

• So I have tried to add the php_sqlsrv_56_ts.dll(from microsoft) at the ext folder of my php inside xampp, and I enabled it at the php.ini file, but if I try to make a simple php script echo phpinfo(); ,sqlsrv does not show up even though I added it.
• I also tried to do this: extension=C:\xampp\php\ext\php_sqlsrv_56_ts.dll still no luck...
  • If you are wondering, I am using MS SQL 2005
  • Php Version is 5.6

This really breaks my brain because I tried it to my other laptop which has windows 7 OS, and it really works. Everything I have here in my win 7 OS(XAMPP) is also the same as what I have in my Windows Server 2008 R2
