In addition to supporting Windows Azure, the CTP of SQL Server Driver for PHP 1.1 offers the following features.
- Support for PHP version 5.3
- Support for UTF-8
- Support for Scrollable results, row countMigration to SQL Server 2008 Native Client framework that provides for performance enhancements.
