Connecting to a non-local Postgres database should be trivial, by using the "host" parameter in the pg_Connect function. As for MS SQL, it seems that PHP3 itself does have ODBC support: http://www.php.net/manual/ref.odbc.php3 I have not yet used this myself, so I have no idea how well it works. There's a PHP3 mailing list; maybe the people there might have more knowledge.
