PDO Drivers
I think that PDO_DBLIB is now stable :
You can download the last source at http://pecl.php.net/package/PDO_DBLIB
Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase Functions (PDO_DBLIB)
Introducción
Warning
PDO_DBLIB is a driver that implements the PHP
Data Objects (PDO) interface to enable access from PHP to
Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase databases through the FreeTDS libary.
Esta extensión es EXPERIMENTAL. Esto significa que el comportamiento de esta extensión, los nombre de sus funciones y en definitiva TODO lo documentado sobre esta extensión, puede cambiar en una futura versión de PHP SIN AVISO. La advertencia queda hecha, y utilizar esta extensión queda bajo su propia responsabilidad.
On Windows, you should use the PDO_ODBC driver to connect to Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase databases, as the native Windows DB-LIB is ancient, thread un-safe and no longer supported by Microsoft.

To connect to SQL Server 2005 Express on Windows, do it like this:
$pdo = new PDO ('mssql:host=localhost,1433;dbname=[redacted]', '[redacted]', '[redacted]');
localhost
localhost\SQLEXPRESS
localhost\1433
localhost:1433
will not work on Windows.
localhost,1433
does work.
YMMV on other OS's; try each.
Also make sure your TCP/IP Properties -> IP Addresses are correct under SQL Server Configuration Manager.

If You work with MSSQL Server 7.0/2000/... under Windows and use non latin Encoding then better To use PDO_MSSQL until PDO_ODBC bugs will be fixed (MSSQL ext far more stable and usabe for PHP versions <=5.1.2).
If your MSSQL connection use strings in OEM encoding (cp866 for russian charset)
1. Run Microsoft Server/Client Network Utility on work PC and UNCHECK "DBLibrary options"/"Automatic ANSI to OEM conversion"
2. Restart Web server if needed.

There is currently little sybase related PDO docs out there. The ones that I found often mention a spec for a dsn that is invalid. Here's how I am currently connecting to sybase ASE:
1. Compile up freetds http://www.freetds.org on top of open client;
2. Add the PDO and PD_DBLIB modules to php 5 as per the documentation; Note: I'm currently using the PDO-beta and PDO_DBLIB-beta;
3. Check mods installed ok using "pear list" and "php -m";
The documentation often says to use "sybase:" as your DSN, this doesn't work. Use "dblib:" instead. Here's an example:
<?php
try {
$hostname = "myhost";
$port = 10060;
$dbname = "tempdb";
$username = "dbuser";
$pw = "password";
$dbh = new PDO ("dblib:host=$hostname:$port;dbname=$dbname","$username","$pw");
} catch (PDOException $e) {
echo "Failed to get DB handle: " . $e->getMessage() . "\n";
exit;
}
$stmt = $dbh->prepare("select name from master..sysdatabases where name = db_name()");
$stmt->execute();
while ($row = $stmt->fetch()) {
print_r($row);
}
unset($dbh); unset($stmt);
?>
Hope this helps.
