a great article :

he SQL Server Driver for PHP allows PHP developers to access SQL Server databases that are hosted on SQL Server or SQL Azure. The SQL Server Driver for PHP relies on the Microsoft SQL Server ODBC Driver to handle low-level communication with SQL Server. As a result, the SQL Server Driver for PHP is only supported on Windows and Windows Azure. It can be downloaded and installed as a PHP extension

Another approach would be to use OData to access your SQL Azure (or Azure Table Storage) data from PHP. Not sure what the perf differences would be, but you'd be able to avoid installing the database driver on your LAMP box.
