Early in my career as a developer things got build and no one ever considered application integration until after the fact. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;When I started at Microsoft in 2001 nobody was integrating ASP.NET and PHP applications and it seemed like a natural thing to want to do to me. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I prefer ASP.NET for new web development but like many of the existing PHP applications like Drupal.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I’ve been doing it ever since and Microsoft’s SQL Driver for PHP makes it much easier to do. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Now you can install the latest version with the Microsoft Web Platform Installer&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Get it here &lt;a href="http://www.microsoft.com/Web/downloads/"&gt;http://www.microsoft.com/Web/downloads/&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px" id="scid:0767317B-992E-4b12-91E0-4F059A8CECA8:faf40e70-847d-4f97-ab8c-e2f66b992349" class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent"&gt;Technorati Tags: &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tags/sql" rel="tag"&gt;sql&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tags/php" rel="tag"&gt;php&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tags/microsoft" rel="tag"&gt;microsoft&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
