The official manual is clear:

     This extension is not available anymore on Windows
     with PHP 5.3 or later.

http://es.php.net/manual/en/intro.mssql.php

In my experience, the SQLSRV extension requires Windows Server 2003 SP2 
or Windows XP SP3. This restriction is imposed by Native Client.

If you need to support an OS that's a decade old, you'll probably need 
to use an outdated PHP version as well.

(Otherwise, the SQLSRV extension is great; its only drawback is being 
Windows-only.)
