Just checked PHP5.2 sources and there is no references to the TDS version
used.

All it displays is:

MSSQL Support => enabled
Active Persistent Links => 0
Active Links => 0
Library version => FreeTDS

I think it would be possible to show the default version, but as the
version can be specified in freetds.conf (per connection) it does not make
much sense to display it.
