Thank you for your reply. i can't tell if your solution works yet because PHP can't seem to handle multiple SQL statments in one call to mssql_query(). when i do what you said:
mssql_query("SET TEXTSIZE 2048 select inventory from products where code = 'FCA13'"); I get: Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MS SQL-result resource in utils.php on line 50 AND, from then on, no mssql_*() functions work.... Warning: MS SQL: Unable to select database: PRODDB in utils.php on line 48 Warning: MS SQL: Query failed in utils.php on line 50 Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MS SQL-result resource in testms.php on line 72 i thought maybe it was a different incarnation of the same problem, but now i REALLY don't think so. It turns out when i do any query with mutliple statements in it (even if i don't use the result set for something), it causes the same thing. all mssql_*() functions are rendered disfunctional. even something that doesn't access data in teh DB, like: mssql_query("declare @P1 float \n set @P1 = 10.00 \n select @P1"); i get the "not a valid MS SQL-result resource" error. Sorry to just give out more problems, but anyone know anything about this. is there a setting i can change to make multiple statements OK for PHP? I know the statements run just fine on the SQL server, because i ran MSSQL Profiler on the server to catch all statments and errors, and no errors happened..... thanks once again, everyone. jerome >From: "Mullin, Reginald" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: 'Jerome Houston' <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: RE: MSSQL 2000's 'real' type kills php >Date: Tue, 14 May 2002 12:19:47 -0400 > >Jerome, > >I'd had a similar problem a few weeks ago (see >http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general&m=101960285228542&w=2). > >Try modifying your SQL statement like so: >mssql_query("SET TEXTSIZE 2048 select inventory from products where code = >'FCA13'"); > > >O From Now 'Till Then, >\-> Reginald Alex Mullin >/\ 212-894-1690 > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Jerome Houston [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Sent: Monday, May 13, 2002 8:52 PM > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: MSSQL 2000's 'real' type kills php > > > > Hi, > > > > i'm working on a win2k server running php 4.1.1 accessing MSSQL server > > 2000 > > on a win2k server. > > > > i've got a problem with a table that has 'real' numbers in it. > > > > <database snippet> > > code inventory name > > PRC01 2.33 Prince Brand Chips > > FCA13 9.9999934E-2 Frozen Calamari > > </database snippet> > > > > when i > > mssql_query("select * from products"); > > or, more specifically > > mssql_query("select inventory from products where code = 'FCA13'"); > > > > BOOM! php crashes, and i get a pop-up window in MSIE that says, "IE > > cannot > > open the site ...... the connection with the server was reset" > > > > but > > > > mssql_query("select * from products where code = 'PRC01'"); > > works like a charm..... > > > > granted 9.9999934E-2 isn't an actual number for inventory, it should be > > 0.10 > > .
