I don't know what PHP is doing.  Using a current snapshot and assuming
you're using the mssql extension, you can see in the TDSDUMP log the order
of db-lib calls.  And PHP could learn the TDS version only from the db-lib
function dbtds().  Anything else is just guesswork.  (If you're using
ODBC, then I don't know.) 

We used to include the TDS version at the top of the log when connecting. 
I noticed it got dropped some time ago.  That was probably inadvertent,
because I don't remember any discussion and can't see any advantage.  I'll
look into putting it back.  

Glad you posted.  If you were confused, someone else surely will be, too.
