PHP and SQLSRV Sorting/Filtering/Paging Don't Work

thedave1022

The data returns to the table fine, but I cant sort, filter, or page (data stays the same). It doesnt seem anyone has proper code using the sqlsrv drivers (I'm running IIS/PHP)

serverside.php

<?php
    /* Indexed column (used for fast and accurate table cardinality) */
    $sIndexColumn = "FirstName";
       
    /* DB table to use */
    $sTable = "Table";
     
    /* Database connection information */
    $gaSql['user']       = "user";
    $gaSql['password']   = "pass";
    $gaSql['db']         = "db";
    $gaSql['server']     = "localhost\sql00";
     
    /*
    * Columns
    * If you don't want all of the columns displayed you need to hardcode $aColumns array with your elements.
    * If not this will grab all the columns associated with $sTable
    */
    $aColumns = array("FirstName","LastName","Address","Email");
  /* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
     * If you just want to use the basic configuration for DataTables with PHP server-side, there is
     * no need to edit below this line
     */

    /*
     * ODBC connection
     */
    $connectionInfo = array("UID" => $gaSql['user'], "PWD" => $gaSql['password'], "Database"=>$gaSql['db'],"ReturnDatesAsStrings"=>true);
    $gaSql['link'] = sqlsrv_connect( $gaSql['server'], $connectionInfo);
    $params = array();
