I am like a chicken with my head cut-off trying to install and configure a SQLSRV driver on Windows 7 (in a multi database configuration).
I am on Windows 7. I used the XAMPP install packages. My main database is MySQL to handle audit, dict, menu, and workflow databases. So in my config.inc file 'dbms' = 'mysql'. That is working. I have fixed my include_path, by hard-coding it into C:\xampp\php\config\php.ini. (I wasn't able to get Apache to load my htaccess.txt files.)
I have 3 variations working in Administrative Tools >> ODBC:
ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server
SQL Server
SQL Server Native Client 11.0
In my php extensions folder (C:\xampp\php\ext) I installed the SQL Server drivers:
php_sqlsrv_54_ts.dll
php_sqlsrv_54_nts.dll
...
php_sqlsrv_56_ts.dll
...
In php.ini, I have loaded this last one, using:
extension=php_sqlsrv_56_ts.dll
In my config.inc, I have tried dozens of permutations for multi database configuration.
(I will post the config.inc details in a separate post.)

Tony! Thanks for replying. I am a huge fan. Thank you, so much, for putting this project together and out for the public. The documentation is very helpful. I appreciate all of your insightful explanations about your design decisions, and critique of other more bloated alternatives, (with cutting comments for entertainment value). I am hoping to get deeper into it, so I can modify it for my project.
My project is to provide a script that can extract, transform, and load (ETL) to and from the production MSSQL2008 DB to a newly redesigned schema running on Linux/Postrgres 9.4, in both directions--easing the transition to the new database by allowing synchronization to the old database until all of the dependent services can be migrated to the new. I do not need the web UI components, but the import database (from both pgsql and sqlsrv), and then export PHP code part is what I am after, so I can use the classes.
My current sticking point is when I go to "Dictionary >> Databases >> Import Database". I am using the localhost/mysql db to store audit, dict, menu, and workflow. This works. So now I want to connect to two other databases, MSSQL2008, and PGSQL, in order to import them. I assumed that I would just add the two extra dbs into the '$servers' array. I started by just trying to add the MSQL2008 DB to the servers array, but then I get an error, "Fatal Error: Entry missing for database 'audit' in SERVERS array in CONFIG file (# 256)". So, then it seems that the mysql connection needs to be in $servers array as well. (I left out the pgsql db for the time being.) So, when I add localhost/mysql db as the first entry (see below config) I am getting a driver error, below when trying to import MSSQL2008 db. (A capture using wireshark shows that there is no TCP connection even attempted by the localhost to the MSSQL2008 remote host, 10.100.150.86, despite the warning below). (I tried both IPADDR and DNS hostname.)
Here is my warning, via webpage:
Fatal Error: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server]Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [2].
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server]Login timeout expired
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server]A network-related or instance-specific error has occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. Server is not found or not accessible.

Actually, I am not sure which driver is the one I should be connecting to. Right now, I am loading in php.ini these two:
php.ini
---------
extension=php_sqlsrv_56_ts.dll
extension=php_pdo_sqlsrv_56_ts.dll
In addition to the two DLLs listed above, I have the following drivers installed, and all seem to work when testing via the Admin Tools >> ODBC Data Source Admin tool.
ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server (MSODBCSQL11.DLL)
SQL Server (SQLSRV32.DLL)
SQL Server Native Client 11.0 (SQLNCLI11.DLL)
From command line, I can see that 'sqlsrv' is loaded.
I am not sure what to make of the sqlsrv-specific fields. I tried adding them and using special 'User DSN' and 'System DSN' names for serverName, as well as using the servers proper DNS name, but it didn't help:
$servers[1]['serverName'] = 'MYUSERDSNNAME';
$servers[1]['SQLSRV_schema'] = 'dbo';
$servers[1]['connectionInfo'] = array('CharacterSet' => 'UTF-8',
'ReturnDatesAsStrings' => true)

I can see two problems:
(1) You are not following the instructions at http://www.tonymarston.net/php-mysql/infrastructure-faq.html #faq92 which clearly states that when you are using the multi-server option it is only the last entry which should have dbnames set to '*' as this means "any database not identified in the previous entries". So the first entry should contain the following:
$servers[0]['dbnames'] = 'menu, audit, workflow, dict';
Each entry before the last one MUST identify the names of the databases which can be found on that server.
(2) You are not following the instructions at http://www.tonymarston.net/php-mysql/sqlsrv.html#config.inc which states that the server name should be set to "(local)" as in the following:
$servers[1]['dbengine'] = 'sqlsrv';
$servers[1]['serverName'] = '(local)';
$servers[1]['connectionInfo'] = array('CharacterSet' => 'UTF-8',
'ReturnDatesAsStrings' => true);
$servers[1]['SQLSRV_schema'] = 'dbo';
Note: when you are using the $servers array you do not need to use the $GLOBALS array. Use one or the other, but not both.

Probably obvious of a more experienced troubleshooter, but for the benefit of others, here is the test.php file that I used to check my connection issue:
<?php
// server 1
$servers[1]['dbhost'] = 'my.fqdn.com';
$servers[1]['dbengine'] = 'sqlsrv';
$servers[1]['dbusername'] = 'myusername';
$servers[1]['dbuserpass'] = 'mypassword';
$servers[1]['dbport'] = '';
$servers[1]['dbsocket'] = '';
$servers[1]['dbprefix'] = '';
$servers[1]['dbnames'] = 'MYDBNAME,*';
$servers[1]['serverName'] = 'my.fqdn.com';
$servers[1]['SQLSRV_schema'] = 'dbo';
$servers[1]['connectionInfo'] = array(
'Database' => 'MYDBNAME',
'UID' => 'myusername',
'PWD' => 'mypassword',
'CharacterSet' => 'UTF-8',
'ReturnDatesAsStrings' => true);
$dbconn = sqlsrv_connect($servers[1]['serverName'], $servers[1]['connectionInfo']) or
die( print_r( sqlsrv_errors(), true));
?

I don't now which version of Radicore you are using, but I cannot reproduce this error in the latest version.
If you look in std.table.class.inc at line 8247 (in the _getDBMSengine() method) you will see where PGSQL_dbname is loaded into the array of arguments which is passed to the database driver.
