This didn't work either at first but then I've got it working like this:
$drv = "SQL Server; TDS_Version=8.2; Port=1433";
$dbh = new PDO( "odbc:Driver=$drv; Server=192.168.0.123; Database=xx; 
UID=yy; PWD=zz;" );

I tried "FreeTDS" as drivername earlier but it wouldn't work. Only now I 
figured out that OpenSuse registers the FreeTDS driver as "SQL Server".

Btw. is there a reason that ODBCConfig only offers TDS versions up to 
7.0? AFAIK 8.0 is MSSQL 2005 so it's not really that new.


Thanks   :)
