I sympathise with all users trying to make SQL Server 2005 work, but that old ntwdblib api was depracated when SQL Server 2000 was released. Newer data types and features are not available through that old api.
It seems that there are still some people that don't know, and this is my third post on the subject, but there is a Microsoft SQL Server 2005 driver for php.
It's easy to use and efficient. I don't know if there's a version for Unix servers, but the person who spent 10 hours seems to be using Windows. It's not identical to mssql, but not much different, and I think simple to port.
You download the extension from Microsoft, put the dll in your extensions folder, and enable it in php.ini (or load it dynamically with dl()).
