You might have more luck if your MS SQL version is 6.5, because that is exactly the same as Sybase, and you can use the Sybase drivers to connect. But for 7.0, Microsoft changed the protocls and the Sybase drivers don't work any more. Anyway, it's hard. If you can either get ODBC or Sybase compiled in, you can use the odbc_* or sy_* (i think that's what their called) functions to get the data. You could also install PHP on an NT box, that would work well.
