// Connect to MSSQL and select the database
mssql_connect('MANGO\SQLEXPRESS', 'sa', 'phpfi');
mssql_select_db('php');
// Send a select query to MSSQL
$query = mssql_query('SELECT [name], [age] FROM [php].[dbo].[persons]');
// Print the field length
echo 'The field \'age\' has a data length of ' . mssql_field_length($query, 1);

mssql_free_result($query);

Notes
Note: Note to Windows Users
Due to a limitation in the underlying API used by PHP (MS DBLib C API), the length of VARCHAR fields is limited to 255. If you need to store more data, use a TEXT field instead.

You can also work around this limitation with the following:
-- for example, with MyVarCharField VARCHAR(1000)
SELECT CAST(MyVarCharField AS TEXT) FROM MyTable
there are same problem with VARBINARY, if you are forced to use existing database with such fields you can do it like this:
SELECT CAST(master.dbo.fn_varbintohexstr(VARBINARYFIELD) AS TEXT) FROM table;
