I have installed (again) the sqlsrv using pecl for Ubuntu 18 yet for some reason the driver is not found.

This is the error I get could not find driver.

Here are the steps I followed: 

$ sudo apt-get remove php-common
$ sudo apt-get autoremove
$ sudo apt-get install php-fpm php-mbstring php-zip php-mysql php-sqlite3 php-dev php-pear php-xml


$ sudo pecl uninstall sqlsrv
$ sudo pecl uninstall pdo_sqlsrv

$ sudo pecl install sqlsrv
$ sudo pecl install pdo_sqlsrv

I created the file sqlsrv.ini with the content:

extension=pdo_sqlsrv.so
extension=sqlsrv.so

and copied it to /etc/php/7.2/cli/ and /etc/php/7.2/fpm/

here is how the php code looks:

$host = "station\SQL, port"; //azure
$db = "dbname";
$user = "user";
$pass = "pass";

try {
    $conn = new PDO("sqlsrv:Server=$host;Database=$db;LoginTimeout=60", $user, $pass);
}
catch (Exception $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
}

When trying to list the modules from the cli with php -m | grep sql I don't get the sqlsrv module in the list of loaded modules:

mysqli
mysqlnd
pdo_mysql
pdo_sqlite
sqlite3

Alternatively php --ri pdo_sqlsrv returns Extension 'pdo_sqlsrv' not present.

odbcinst -j returns:

Enable the mod: sudo phpenmod sqlsrv

See this link to install driver: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/odbc/linux-mac/installing-the-microsoft-odbc-driver-for-sql-server?view=sql-server-2017
