OK, then, please take another look at
http://www.freetds.org/userguide/x200.htm#AEN210.

The issue is that the runtime linker has to be able to find the FreeTDS
libraries, and the default installation location (/usr/local/freetds/lib) is
not a place that it will look for them by default.  You can do one of two
things:

1.      Put the libraries where the runtime linker is already looking, or 
2.      Tell the runtime linker where they are.  

(This is a bugaboo of mine.  We're changing the default installation
location in the next release, so not so many people get snagged.  But
Solaris is a special case.)

The UG lists three ways to accomplish #2; I'm going to recommend the second
of those three.  

I would try "man ldconfig".  Find out what the Solaris equivalent of
"/etc/ld.so.conf" is, and modify it per the UG (more or less):

<quote>
        Add it to ld.so.conf and run ldconfig. 

        $ su -
        Password: 
        # echo /usr/local/freetds >> /etc/ld.so.conf
        # ldconfig
</quote>

I think that will work with an unmodified PHP.  Famous last words.
