PHP shows the sqlsrv drivers, but I can't connect to MS-SQL

Ok,

 

I managed to install PHP and Apache on a virtual machine at home (host runs Windows 2008 Server). I'm half way testing there but I need to start working on my work's laptop now (for presentation, official stuff, etc)

 

So I installed XAMPP. I downloaded the MS-SQL drivers from this URL: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/cc296170.aspx

 

I edited PHP ini adding this line:

 

extension=php_sqlsrv_53_ts_vc9.dll

 

And also dropped the php_sqlsrv_53_ts_vc9.dll file into the "ext" folder that goes under xampp

 

I restarted Apache and I can see PHP shows the sqlsrv drivers section, so should work ok, but I can't connect to MS-SQL. I can't even run a simple PHP script like this:

 

 

<?php
$serverName = "servername";
$connectionOptions = array("Database"=>"AdventureWorks");
$conn = sqlsrv_connect( $serverName, $connectionOptions);
if( $conn === false )
die( FormatErrors( sqlsrv_errors() ) );
?>

 

It fails miserably with following error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function FormatErrors() in C:\xampp\htdocs\project\connectivity.php on line 6

 

Am I missing something? By the way, my work's laptop runs Windows Vista. Not sure if that can be a problem. I am running most recent SQL client drivers I think.
