How to connect MSQL via unixodbc and freetds using PHP?

Question

As described in a previous question, freetds and unixodbc are installed on Lion and tested with isql, I tried to connect to MSSQL using PHP:

$connection = odbc_connect('SMS_GTWY', 'username', 'password');

However, it returns:

PHP Warning:  odbc_connect(): SQL error: [iODBC][Driver Manager]Specified driver could not be loaded, SQL state IM003 in SQLConnect in testodbc.php line 3

[iODBC][Driver Manager]Specified driver could not be loaded

How can I fix it?

P.S. $ cat /tmp/odbc_trace output after the above PHP is executed:

** iODBC Trace file
** Trace started on Fri Dec 14 18:03:27 2012
** Driver Manager: 03.52.0607.1008

To fix, setup the env with FREETDSCONF, ODBCINI, and ODBCINSTINI:

<?php

  putenv("FREETDSCONF=/Users/ohho/.freetds.conf");
  putenv("ODBCINI=/Users/ohho/.odbc.ini");
  putenv("ODBCINSTINI=/Users/ohho/.odbcinst.ini");

  $connection = odbc_connect('SMS_GTWY', 'sms_gtwy', 'sms_gtwy');

?>
