SQLSRV driver vs. PDO driver for PHP with MS SQL Server

Viewed 21710

What considerations should I take into account when choosing between SQLSRV driver vs. PDO driver (for PHP with MS SQL server)?

I saw this previous Stackoverflow post ( When using PHP on Windows, what is better (1) the native driver for SQL Server or (2) the PDO driver? ) but the answer seems a bit lacking and doesn't mention all the benefits of using the SQLSRV driver as mentioned in this article.

I'm looking for a comprehensive and up-to-date (eg. is it still the case that SQLSRV driver is only available for Windows?) answer that programmers can refer to as a resource.
