Add PHP 8.5 patch for pdo_sqlsrv

Add a PHP 8.5 compatibility patch to ensure pdo_sqlsrv builds and functions correctly with PHP 8.5.

Are you referring to a specific patch? Or are you asking me to check why pdo_sqlsrv doesn't compile and patch it?

(in the second case, it's better to ask to the authors of the pdo_sqlsrv extension - see https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql)

Looks like there is no upstream support for PHP 8.5 yet.

Issue asking for support: microsoft/msphpsql#1539
Not yet merged PR that supposedly fixes the build: microsoft/msphpsql#1543

@mlocati

Microsoft is very slow with releases. Usually 1 - 2 years :(

I tried to utilize #538 to install the ext from local source:

FROM php:8.5

COPY --from=mlocati/php-extension-installer /usr/bin/install-php-extensions /usr/local/bin/

RUN apt-get -y update \
    && apt-get -y upgrade \
    && apt-get -y install git

# make debugging faster - these packages are installed by install-php-extensions for pdo_sqlsrv
RUN apt-get -y install libltdl7 libodbc2 libodbcinst2 unixodbc unixodbc-common apt-transport-https dirmngr gnupg gnupg-l10n gpg gpg-agent gpgconf gpgsm libassuan9 libgcrypt20 libgpg-error0 libksba8 libncursesw6 libnpth0t64 libodbccr2 pinentry-curses unixodbc-dev

# download pdo_sqlsrv sources
RUN git clone https://github.com/microsoft/msphpsql.git -b dev pdo_sqlsrv \
    && cd pdo_sqlsrv && git reset --hard b3e4bf2944 && rm -r .git

# https://github.com/microsoft/msphpsql/blob/b3e4bf2944/buildscripts/README.md?plain=1#L19
RUN cd pdo_sqlsrv && cp -r source/shared source/pdo_sqlsrv

RUN install-php-extensions $(realpath pdo_sqlsrv/source/pdo_sqlsrv)

But it fails with Unable to find the package.xml file in the directory.

@mlocati is there any way how to create minimal package.xml and build the ext from source directly?

A Google search resulted in https://pear.php.net/manual/en/pyrus.commands.make.php

Thanks, I put the answer #558 (comment) in related issue.

sqlsrv and pdo_sqlsrv 5.13.0 was just released: https://github.com/microsoft/msphpsql/releases/tag/v5.13.0
