i'd say mssql from freetds.

if they're not there they can't be loaded.
i would say use freetds since i've used it in the past. not sure about
what is the best nowadays for sql server 2k/etc. i used freeTDS with
php 4 to connect to mssql. i forget wihch version. maybe 6.0, maybe
7.0 if there was one?
i'm thinking there is a way for ODBC to connect but again, no clue.

i don't think you can.
note: with freetds you have to do something like putenv('TDSVER=70');
before connecting if you're having issues. you may have to google for
that too.
