The User Guide is your intended resource.  It's fine if you want to take
the Great Leap Forward and see if you can connect with a PHP script right
away, but when (not if) that doesn't work, you need to back up and be more
deliberate.   

Check with tsql.  Then use isql to verify your odbc.ini.

This looks right for a default installation of SQL Server 2000, if
locale(1) indicates you're using UTF-8 on the PHP box.  If those
assumptions are correct, I would espect tsql to work.  

In odbc.ini, I think saster needs its Driver to point to the odbc library.

HTH.
