Xampp - MS SQL - PHP 5.5

I'm trying to get the PDO SQL driver to work with my Xampp and PHP 5.5 installation. I have followed the directions found below as Microsoft has yet to make a PHP 5.5 SQL driver:

As you can see by the images I have downloaded the file, placed it into my C:\xampp\php\ext folder and added it to php.ini and restarted apache.

But still when running phpinfo(); it shows it as not loaded. What did I do wrong?

EDIT:

Error log for PHP shows this:

[25-Sep-2014 14:22:11 UTC] PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\xampp\php\ext\php_sqlsrv_55_ts.dll' - The specified module could not be found.
 in Unknown on line 0

It seems by using Dependency Walker (http://www.dependencywalker.com) I found out that the modules couldn't find php5ts.dll file, even though it was directory up.

So I edited the Windows 2008 R2 Environment Variables and added C:\xampp\php to the Path variable and it worked like a charm.

I used the instructions here on how to edit the variables in Windows:
