That tells us that you have the sybase extension loaded instead of  
the mssql one.
On Unix platforms, there isn't actually a lot of difference between  
the two and since FreeTDS is likely behind both, you should be able  
to access mssql databases through the sybase extension or even vice  
versa.

But since it's not working for you,  it might be worth a try to see  
if switching to the actual mssql extension helps. Guessing from your  
error messages, the php.ini in question probably looks something like  
this:

extension=sybase.so
extension=mssql.so
extension=php_mssql.dll

Anything sybase* and anything *.dll should be removed and only the  
mssql.so line kept.

Of course, this all depends on the assumption that all these  
extensions were compiled as dynamically loadable shared libraries and  
not built into the php binaries, which is a big assumption to make as  
only a few people tend to build the extensions as shared.
Otherwise a full php recompile will be needed.
And naturally an Apache restart after editing the php.ini.
