Is there any native support for MSSQL 7 in PHP4, and if so, how can I use this?

Yes and No.  There is a generic MSSQL module.  There is no planned 
MSSQL specific functionality.  The guys at PHP want to keep the module 
general enough to use all versions of MSSQL.
It has to be said that if you do want to use MSSQL from PHP, you have to
use PHP's ODBC functions. For more information please go to
www.iodbc.org -- you can download drivers and read installation
procedures from there.
Keep in mind that you have to recompile PHP
