Laravel SQL Server - PDOException could not find driver on migrate - sql-server

Question

I have a laravel 5.2 instance configured to run against MS SQL Server. I have downloaded from microsoft the drivers and the connection runs perfect DB::table('usuarios')->select('*')->get(); returns:
[{"id":"5","username":"jtd","password":"$2y$10$t8RXYy\/afaEuIpE8GIk2bOvbHsQoj0fhGPxmo\/3UqJABKVA4I4pHC","email":""}]
But when I try to php artisan migrate i get the:
[PDOException]
could not find driver
Why this is happening?
Stack trace:
c:\wamp\www\presence\webapp>php artisan migrate --verbose
[PDOException]
could not find driver

I found a solution. I post it for everyone. I use WAMP stack (PHP, Apache and MySQL). The fact is that wamp uses the 5.5.12 version for terminal CLI, so I have to install SQL Server PDO Extensions on the version I am using and (besides this) on the 5.5.12 version (I have several PHP versions installed). Can provide more information if needed.
