I upgraded my PHP 5.6.30 (https://www.apachefriends.org/de/download.html) to PHP 7.0 (https://bitnami.com/stack/wamp/installer)
Everything worked fine so far and it
I know this question is rather old. But I've come across the same issue recently ...
@Naio is right : there are indeed different versions of ODBC drivers, based on the architecture (32bits or 64bits). The driver that PHP uses depends on its own version.
In other words, if you are using a 32bits ODBC environement, make sure to use a 32bits version of PHP ...
My guess is that, by switching from PHP 5.6 to PHP 7.0 you also switched from a 32bits version to a 64bits version.
