Bug description: Trailing null character after mssql datetime field
When selecting a datetime field from mssql while the
following setting is active:
ini_set('mssql.datetimeconvert', 0);
the field contains a trailing null character which causes
havoc when generating XML.
Environment: SQL Server 2000
A workaround is to select the datatime field as CAST(.. AS CHAR).
Example script to reproduce the problem:
ini_set('mssql.datetimeconvert', 0);
$iLinkId = mssql_connect('server', 'username', 'pwd');
mssql_select_db('database', $iLinkId);
$iResultId = mssql_query(
'SELECT TESTDATE FROM TEST WHERE TEST_ID = 1'
);
$aRow = mssql_fetch_array($iResultId);
print $aRow[0] . '|';
print strlen($aRow['TESTDATE']);
print '|';
print ord(
$aRow['TESTDATE'][strlen($aRow['TESTDATE']) - 1]
);
print '<br>';
mssql_close($iLinkId)
The output looks like this:
2002-12-31 00:00:00|20|0
indicating the string is 20 characters long, and the last character is a
null character (\0).
