Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php Functions returning a column name are based on the dbcolname() function in DBLIB. DBLIB from microsoft was developed for SQL Server 6.x where the max identifier length was 30 #define SQL_MAX_COLUMN_NAME_LEN 30 This is only a problem on Win32 where we use DBLIB from Microsoft. On platforms where we use FreeTDS this is not a problem.

NOT mssql_fetch_row. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-03 11:29:50] php at electricsurfer dot com If you select a field with a column name that has more than 30 chars. Using mssql_fetch_assoc or mssql_fetch_row to fetch it will only return a key with the 1st 30 chars. ( Mysql functions work with longer column names ) <? // connect to db Here $result = mssql_query('select MyVeryVeryVeryVeryVeryVeryLongColumnName from table'); $row = mssql_fetch_assoc($result); // $row = array('MyVeryVeryVeryVeryVeryVeryLong'=>50) (only first 30 chars in key) ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=23990&edit=1
