Using Linux to execute a query from Windows server by ODBC connection

Here is the problem: We have a client that uses Progress Openedge database, we need to execute queries on this database from our servers.

Currently the drivers are installed on our Windows server, and the PHP code uses ODBC to run the queries.

Now we would like to move the code to a Linux server. We tried before to work with their linux drivers but that attempt has failed.

The question is, Is it possible somehow to run PHP code on a linux server, this code communicates with the Windows server, runs the query on the Windows server, and return the results to Linux?

How would you access to this problem.

Thanks!
