Operating system: Solaris 2.6
PHP version: 4.3.4
PHP Bug Type: MSSQL related
Bug description: wrong data type returned by mssql_fetch_array
Description:
------------
The following script returns an empty string on Solaris, when it should
return a NULL (which it does, correctly, on Linux.)
This is using FreeTDS 0.61.2 (same problem occurs with FreeTDS 0.52).
This is talking to a SQL Server 2000 using TDS version 7.0 (switching to
8.0 made no difference).
I've checked, and:
mssql.compatability_mode = Off
in php.ini.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
$id = mssql_connect("<servername>","<username>","<password>");
$q = mssql_query("SELECT NULL",$id);
$f = mssql_fetch_array($q);
echo gettype($f[0]);
Expected result:
----------------
NULL
Actual result:
--------------
string
