From: cbunk at arescorporation dot com Operating system: Windows 2000 PHP version: 4.3.6 PHP Bug Type: MSSQL related Bug description: Using MSSQL functions an empty string is returned as a space
Description: ------------ When making a query on a MSSQL DB using mssql functions an extra space is added to the end of output. This is causing trouble with scripts of mine that check to see if the querried field is empty to determine whether or not to display some text. The bug mentioned at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=25777 describes the problem but was marked as bogus. I think when the fix for http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=25777 was made it in advertently left an extra space in results. Reproduce code: --------------- //once connected to the db $sql="Select name from contacts"; $result=mssql_query($sql); $row = mssql_fetch_array($result); //assume there is one entry in the table //with an empty string as the value for //name if (!empty($row["name"])){ echo "Name: " . $row["name"]; }else{ echo "Name value is empty"; } Expected result: ---------------- Name value is empty Actual result: -------------- Name: -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=28124&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28124&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28124&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28124&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28124&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28124&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28124&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28124&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28124&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28124&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28124&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28124&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28124&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28124&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28124&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28124&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28124&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28124&r=float
