Laravel SQL Server connection with ENCRYPT=yes trustServerCertificate=true - sql

Question

I got a ubuntu docker container which runs php 5.5.9, laraverl 5.2 which can connect successfully to SQL Server and get results back.
The docker image I am using is https://hub.docker.com/r/h2labs/laravel-mssql/
The problem I got is that the server uses encryption and I cant find how to pass the following parameters to the laravel connection string for mssql
ENCRYPT=yes;trustServerCertificate=true
My SQL Server connection string at present looks like this
DB_CONNECTION=sqlsrv
DB_HOST=sql.mydomain.com
DB_PORT=1433
DB_DATABASE=mydbname
DB_USERNAME=mysusername
DB_PASSWORD=mypass
My laravel database config looks like this
'sqlsrv' => [
'driver' => 'sqlsrv',
'host' => env('DB_HOST', 'localhost'),
'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'forge'),
'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', 'forge'),
'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', ''),
'charset' => 'utf8',
'prefix' => '',
],
The SQL Server error log entry is
Encryption is required to connect to this server but the client library does not support encryption; the connection has been closed. Please upgrade your client library. [CLIENT: 103.31.114.56]

Support for either option was not introduced until Laravel 5.4; Specifically, v5.4.11
So you would first need to upgrade to laravel/framework:>=5.4.11,<5.5
Then, to configure your application, you will need to modify your config/database.php file as follows:
// ...
'sqlsrv' => [
'driver' => 'sqlsrv',
'host' => env('DB_HOST', 'localhost'),
'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'forge'),
'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', 'forge'),
'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', ''),
'charset' => 'utf8',
'prefix' => '',
'encrypt' => 'yes', // alternatively, defer to an env variable
'trust_server_certificate' => 'true', // alternatively, defer to an env variable
],
// ...
DatabaseServiceProvider, via ConnectionFactory and SqlServerConnector will use this to build the underlying PDO connection with those options set in the DSN.
