I'm trying to connect to sql server from my mac osx from a php file. I keep getting this error:

Caught exception: exception 'PDOException' with message 'could not find driver'

I installed everything from this website - http://blog.andyhunt.info/2013/11/29/php-mssql-pdo_dblib-freetds-support-on-mac-osx-10-9-mavericks/ but nothing seems to work. It fails at this part in the PHP

$serverName = "xx.xx.xx";
new PDO("dblib:host=$serverName;dbname='xx'", "xx", "xx");

I'm trying to connect to SQL Server, not mysql – user2974739 Jun 09 '14 at 22:46
MSSQL. But the link you sent provides instructions for windows. I'm trying to run the PHP file on a Mac connecting to an MS SQL Server. – user2974739 Jun 09 '14 at 22:59
Have you checked to see if you have the PDO Driver Installed? – l'L'l Jun 09 '14 at 23:44
I have this in the PHPInfo() - PDO support enabled PDO drivers mysql, sqlite, pgsql – user2974739 Jun 10 '14 at 14:52
Can you please send me the link of the duplicate question? The links you sent are for different problems. – user2974739 Jun 10 '14 at 15:11
