msphpsql: [Ubuntu 16.04] [PHP 7.0] Unable to connect: Adaptive Server is unavailable or does not exist (severity 9)

I am trying to connect with php 7.0 after install with:

sudo su
wget https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/ODBC-Driver-13-for-Ubuntu-b87369f0/file/154097/2/installodbc.sh
sh installodbc.sh


$ sqlcmd -H xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxx -d MYTABLE -U MYUSER -P MYPASS

cat test.php 
<?php

$dbo = new PDO('dblib:host=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx;dbname=MYTABLE;port=xxxx', 'MYUSER', 'MYPASS');
var_dump($dbo);

$ php7.0 test.php

Connecting with tsql works fine:

I cannot even install php-pdodblib from PECL because it is not supported PHP 7.0

$ sudo pecl install PDO_DBLIB pear/PDO_DBLIB requires PHP (version >= 5.0.3, version <= 6.0.0), installed version is 7.0.9-1+deb.sury.org~xenial+1 No valid packages found install failed

I came here from this stackoverflow post. There are really support for PHP 7.0?
