You have to enable the MSSQL extension by loading the appropriate .dll via php.ini. This extension however is deprecated and is not even included with PHP in 5.3 and above. Since you are on a windows server, what you should be using is the SQLSRV extension which is available either as a set of functions or as a PDO driver. Have a read over the Requirements and Installation pages in the manual to find out how to get it and set it up.
