Php – Can’t Install freetds php-mssql on Centos7

I am at my wits end… Newbie to Linux… please help me…

Goal is to connect to MS SQL Server 2005 using PHP. I have installed PHP and ODBC. I am running CentOS7.

PHP Version => 5.4.16

…. (from php -i) ….

odbc

ODBC Support => enabled

I am running into 2 dependency issues when trying to install freetds and php-mssql extension. (see below)

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

I have libgnutls.so version 28 though

/usr/lib64/libgnutls.so.28
/usr/lib64/libgnutls.so.28.20.4

I have been trying to figure this out for 4 days and I am very frustrated. Any help would be super appreciated. Thanks in advance.
