We were forced to abandon that particular project, partially because of  
this issue. We never did get it working.

However, one of the folks at Autodesk sent me a document with step-by-step  
details of how he was able to enable ODBC support in PHP in a MapGuide  
Enterprise 2008 install on RHEL4. I'll ask for permission to post it here  
or on the Wiki.
