PHP Bug Type: MSSQL related
Bug description: mssql_query fails to insert row
Description:
------------
problem:
mssql_query does not like foreign keys and primary keys that are set to
varchar. It will not insert a new row and it does not return an error
(returns true)
solution:
change datatype for foreign key and primary key to 'tinyint'
change underlying data to match new data types
voila! a new row is inserted
Reproduce code:
---------------
// groupName is set to varchar(25) in database
// administators is already in the table group
// so the print statement should execute
$g='administrators';
if not exists (select groupName from groups where groupName='$g')
begin
INSERT INTO $this->dbtable
(groupName)
VALUES ('$g')
end
else
print 'Group Name already exists in table groups'
Expected result:
----------------
if the variable passed into the query exists in the current table I
excepted the query NOT to execute, and that the print statement would be
returned.
Actual result:
--------------
mssql_query returns True, but does not insert a new row.
