Status: Feedback
Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem
Operating System: windows
PHP Version: 4.3.0
New Comment:
the following test script:
function inner2(&$val) {
$val = "Changed!";
}
function inner(&$val) {
inner2(&$val);
}
function outer(&$val) {
inner(&$val);
}
$val = "The same.";
outer(&$val);
echo("val = ".$val."\n");
... actually executes as it should on both 4.2.3 and 4.3.0 in my
environment. I therefore would like to reopen the bug as one in the
MSSQL extension on windows.

Please provide a _SHORT_ and _COMPLETE_ example script
which can be used to reproduce this.

I upgraded PHP to 4.3.0, from 4.2.3, running in IIS5 as a SAPI module.
I had hacked stored procedure support for MSSQL into the PEAR DB class
with a function like:
function spBindOutputParam($stmt, $name, &$outref, $type) {
return mssql_bind($stmt, $name, &$outref, $type, true, false);
}
... right? then, in my own DBAbstraction classes, I had something like:
function bindOutputParam($name, &$outref, $type) {
/// debugger
global $debug;
//$debug->println("DBStoredProcedure::bindOutputParam() called, outref
= ".$outref."", 5);
return $this->db_connection->spBindOutputParam($this->db_stmt, $name,
&$outref, $type);
}
... and so on, up through the layers of abstraction in my application
framework, always passing the output parameter $outref by value. I
upgraded to PHP 4.3.0 and it BROKE. the functions all completely failed
to modify $outref. it works fine, I stress, in PHP 4.2.3. I desperately
tried a bunch of stuff like removing the '&' from ONLY the function
signatures, or ONLY the subsequent calls, or what have you. totally
busted. has anyone run into anything like this? I'm guessing it's a PHP
4.2.3->4.3.0 thing but who knows? maybe also with MSSQL in PHP. let me
know. thanks!
