Try looking at a TDSDUMP log of the session; see if any error message is
generated in response to odbc_longreadlen.  (I'm not a PHP programmer, but
do odbc_binmode() and odbc_longreadlen() not have return codes?)  You
might also try using the ODBC trace.  

Four our purposes here, you need to isolate the ODBC function call that is
not working as expected.  Then we can see what is reasonable to expect,
and what kind of change or righteous indignation would be appropriate.

Yes, it should work.  You're limited by available memory -- more than one
copy of the file is kept in memory -- and newer versions are better at it
than older ones.  I don't know how well ODBC parameterized queries work
with large parameters.  Here again an ODBC trace and TDSDUMP should shed
some light.  

HTH.
