I just checked. PHP 7.0.33 for 5210R was built with --with-mssql build 
flag.

However:

[root at jarvis bin]# /home/solarspeed/php-7.0/bin/php -v
PHP 7.0.33 (cli) (built: Oct 22 2019 01:16:09) ( NTS )

[root at jarvis bin]# /home/solarspeed/php-7.0/bin/php -m|grep mssql
[root at jarvis bin]#

It doesn't show as being present and there is no mssql.so included. 
However, as this whole --with-mssql stuff has been deprecated from PHP 
and I never used it in first place I'm not of much help there.

But it should be possible to use MS SQL via pdo_odbc, which is included 
and enabled in PHP-7.0.33 on 5210R. Although I don't have any usage 
examples, as I never used MS SQL.
