Yep.

As someone else has noted, the ODBC functions are one way.

Another way, particularly if you prefer to talk to the database directly
rather than through a translation layer, is to install the FreeTDS
libraries (http://www.freetds.org/) on your Linux machine and then build
PHP with the --with-sybase configuration parameter. This will enable
the mssql_* functions.
