Phew, finally got PHP to compile on Windows. Have just fixed some of
the .phpt tests to also work there and will look into integrating your
patches shortly.

The point of the second patch (specifically the {HOSTNAME} part) isn't
to be a substitute for a gethostname() function - although it would be
nice to have one.
The point is to have the sybct.hostname default to the local hostname
*without any user intervention*, something that is not currently the
case.
The reason I added the {HOSTNAME} support is that in our production
environment we often have multiple servers running PHP and it's nice to
know which one is connecting to Sybase in the case of long-running
queries, etc. So by putting
{HOSTNAME}-serverA
or
{HOSTNAME}-serverB
I give myself a shorthand to determine which process is causing trouble
on the Sybase database.

Assigning to myself, I like the first patch but am not sure about the
second - I'd rather like to see a gethostname() function in PHP with
which one could accomplish this in userland.

Description:
------------
I have two patches that I would like to propose for the PHP5 Sybase-CT
module.
The first adds the (very useful) functions sybase_output_params() and
sybase_return_status() functions. The patch is here:
http://www.marden.org/php-sybase-ct/php5-sybase_ct.return_status-and-output_params.patch
and the documentation is here:
http://www.marden.org/php-sybase-ct/return_status-and-output_params.txt
The second patch corrects (IMO) the behavior of sybct.hostname to
default to the hostname of the current system. It also supports
{HOSTNAME} as a substitution variable in the sybct.hostname parameter, a
feature that I have found useful in our server farm. The patch is here:
http://www.marden.org/php-sybase-ct/php-sybase_ct.hostname.patch
