Eduardo, Under Windows, you can simple configure a System DSN in the ODBC Administrator, and then use the ODBC functions in PHP: www.php.net/odbc, as ODBC support should be enabled by default.
You can also connect to SQL Server on Windows from a *nix platform, using the PHP-ODBC-HOWTO at www.iodbc.org as a starting place. You might want to read it for an ODBC architecture overview even if using Windows - just skip the installation steps. As far as the examples go, they are also transferable (that's the point of ODBC) but you will not need to set any environment variables with a Windows-based PHP client.
