I'd second this. Forget the ODBC stuff. It's pathetically slow anyway.
I've used FreeTDS very successfully to do just what you want. It performed very well and
was pretty straightforward to install and configure.
Good luck!

So, I have been tasked with writing some PHP code on a Linux system running Apache, PHP4, etc. However, the database that "they" want the interface for is an MS-SQL database. After doing some research, unixODBC is the way to go. The problem is, the only way that I can find to do this is to use the ODBC to ODBC bridge from EasySoft, which costs $1000. Does anyone know how to connect to an MS-SQL server from a Linux box without spending $1K (or moving the database to MySQL)?
TIA,
Kenny
