I am having a simular issue, however I am getting type (36) unknown and not 35. The SQl server is Enterprise 2000. and the field is a uniqueidentifier type. here is a line from the error: Warning: mssql_query(): column 14 has unknown data type (36) in /opt/mysql-standard-4.0.18-pc-linux-i686/scripts/test.php on line 34 and here is the conf file -------------------------------------------- [global] # TDS protocol version tds version = 8.0 ; initial block size = 512 # uses some fixes required for some bugged MSSQL 7.0 server that # return invalid data to big endian clients # NOTE TDS version 7.0 or 8.0 should be used instead ; swap broken dates = no ; swap broken money = no # Database server login method, if both server and domain # logins are enabled, domain login is tried first if a domain # is specified, and if that fails the server login will be used. # OBSOLETE ; try server login = yes ; try domain login = no # The default authentication domain, can be overridden by # specifying a username with a domain prefix, e.g. DOMAIN\username # OBSOLETE use DOMAIN\username as username ; nt domain = WORKGROUP # If the server responds with different domain try that one? # OBSOLETE never been used ; cross domain login = no # Whether to write a TDSDUMP file for diagnostic purposes # (setting this to /tmp is insecure on a multi-user system) ; dump file = /tmp/freetds.log ; debug level = 10 # Command and connection timeouts ; timeout = 10 ; connect timeout = 10 # If you get out of memory errors, it may mean that your client # is trying to allocate a huge buffer for a TEXT field. # (Microsoft servers sometimes pretend TEXT columns are # 4 GB wide!)

And we have no such problems. Could you please send your configure strings ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-20 11:54:47] rgesse at ndigital dot com I ran into the same problem wih the latest version of PHP and Freetds (as of Feb. 18, 2004). I found that the only way to SELECT from a uniqueidentifier field is the following: SELECT LEFT(CAST(uniqueidentifierfield as char(64)), 36) AS thisfield FROM table ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-07-23 11:56:21] [EMAIL PROTECTED] This bug has been fixed in CVS.

You can test it, if you fetch such a field, and then pass that value to mssql_guid_string. The output must be equal to CAST (field as CHAR(64)), where field is of the uniqueidentifier type. Reproduce code: --------------- $sql = "select * from tablename"; $res = mssql_query($sql); /* causes php to barf, if you have a field of type uniqueidentifier */ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=24752&edit=1
