Ubuntu – php5-mssql / freetds : can connect with tsql, not with php5-mssql

i'm trying to set up an Ubuntu workstation for php development with php5-mssql.
First i compiled freetds-nightly 0.8.3 ( with –enable-msdblib ) and installed it to /usr/local/freetds , copying header files from the package to /usr/local/freetds/include

Then, I grabbed the php5 source with apt-get source php5, and compiled the mssql extension as follows:

phpize
cd ext/mssql
./configure --with-mssql=/usr/local/freetds
make
sudo install

this placed mssql.so in to my php extensions dir and php is loading the extension fine.
After all this i added my server in /usr/local/freetds/etc/freetds.conf:

[global]
    tds version = 7.0
    dump file = /tmp/freetds.log
    text size = 64512

[db-02]
host = XXXXX
port = 1433
tds version = 7.0

First of all, i wanted to use tds 8.0 but any value higher then 7.1 is ignored, which is strage since freetds on my mac ( built from macports with +mssql ) does 8.0 while being older. ( 0.8.2 i think )

Anyway, with this i can connect up to my sever with /usr/local/freetds/bin/tsql beautifully. NOT with php5-mssql..

here's some output from freetds.log ( this is all from the failed attempt )

( the same credentials get me in with tsql )

Any help is greatly appreciated.

thanks,

ps: some tsql -C output
