Check your php.ini. It seems you are running this on Windows w/Apache. Make sure php_mssql.dll (or php_mssql.so if you are on Linux) is NOT commented out. Also, I think you'll need a SQL account. Is the SQL Server in mixed mode or Windows authentication? Look in Enterprise MAnager or the registry (HKLM\Software\Microsoft\MSSqlserver\MSSqlServer\LoginMode) 1 is Windows authentication, 2 is mixed (SQL/Windows).
