I was able to get the PHP version of ST up and running using the WAMP Server.

I had some trouble getting the server connection working with my version of MS 
SQL Express 2008 which uses a named instance of \SQLExpress.

<server>127.0.0.1,1433</server>  # default

<server>127.0.0.1\SQLExpress,1433</server>  #  timeout
<server>127.0.0.1:1433\SQLExpress</server>  #  timeout
<server>localhost\SQLExpress,1433</server>  #  timeout
<server>localhost:1433\SQLExpress</server>  #  timeout

<server>localhost\SQLExpress</server>  #  success

It might be helpful to add a note to the PHP Install Document, under the 
Installing PHP -> Options Headings (1-5, 2-4, 3-2) for setting the database 
server if you have an instance of SQL Express installed.
