PHP can access databases across computers and across O/S.
You have to define the NT Host correctly in your '/etc/hosts' file and 
then use the mysql connectivity with the correct user and password to 
connect to the database.
$db=mysql_connect("nthost","linuxuser");
mysql_select_db("db_on_nt",$db);
