The MSSQL extension is not available anymore on Windows with PHP 5.3 or later. SQLSRV, an alternative driver for MS SQL is available from Microsoft: » http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=20098

Step by Step

  1. Download SQLSRV32.EXE (Microsoft Drivers for PHP for SQL Server) from: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=20098

  2. Choose path: C:\xampp\php\ext

  1. Uncomment or Append extension = php_sqlsrv_55_ts.dll in php.ini

  2. Restart Apache from XAMPP Control Panel (Stop/Start)

I tested it and it works 100%

Hii @lea Tano : after fallow your steps now its giving me an error.. unable to load dynamic library 'C:\xamp\php\ext\php_mssql.dll' the specified module could not be found
I read some articles and some people complained that some XAMPP versions do not contain the module dlls. Can you please let me know your XAMPP version, so I can test it myself.
xampp-win32-5.6.3-0-VC11-installer
You were RIGHT. Thing had changed. Please follow my instructions. I downloaded xampp win32-5.6.3 and tested it 100% Check my edited answer
I am also facing same issue.Could you please explain it for WAMP Server ?
