If you are running php on Windows, DO NOT use the PDO_DBLIB driver. From the web page:
"On Windows, you should use the PDO_ODBC driver to connect to Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase databases, as the native Windows DB-LIB is ancient, thread un-safe and no longer supported by Microsoft. "
So, if you *are* running PHP on Windows, set up an ODBC connection to your SQL Server, and use the PDO_ODBC driver to connect.
Let me know if you need more info.

Well, in addition to the warning about not using it on Windows, the page does say (in a big red box) that the extension is Experimental. I would still try it though, since it uses FreeTDS, which has been around for a while.
If it doesn't work, you can always fall back on ODBC, but even that may have problems (see http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.pdo-odbc.php#81488)
