I was testing under the isapi, and I noticed that what worked before broke when the version number changed from 4.0.6-dev to 4.0.7-dev. Give me a chance to try a newer version, and I'll let you know how it goes. Noticed that the error changed from PHP has encountered an Access Violation at 2474FF04 to PHP has encountered an Access Violation at 011CD614 -----Original Message----- From: Bug Database [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, 19 May 2001 1:24 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Bug #10580 Updated: Access Violation using ADODB ID: 10580 Updated by: phanto Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Old-Status: Open Status: Closed Bug Type: COM related Operating system: PHP Version: 4.0.7-dev (dated 16-May-2001) Assigned To: Comments: is it ? i was able to run your ado script successfully. are you using the isapi or the cgi version of php. isapi isn't stable yet. -harald Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-05-16 08:42:01] [EMAIL PROTECTED] COM broken in PHP version 4.0.7-dev --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-05-16 08:34:57] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug reopened, CVS dated 16 May 2001, message when accessing database: PHP has encountered an Access Violation at 011CD614 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-05-08 20:12:03] [EMAIL PROTECTED] works here. the only mistake i found was, that if either the connect string or the query was wrong $conn->execute() returned a nullpointer instead of a valid recordset. this only produced a warning so there was a nullpointer exception at the first attempt to access $rs->... now i produce an error (unfortunatelly this causes the script to stop). i'll fix this in the code and switch back to a warning, but i think it's ok for now. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-05-08 19:18:07] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Here is a code snippet for testing ADODB: <?php define ("DSN_USER", "sa"); define ("DSN_PWD", ""); define ("DB_SERVERNAME", "localhost"); define ("DATABASENAME", "Northwind"); define ("OLEDB_CONNECTION_STRING", "Provider=SQLOLEDB; Data Source=".DB_SERVERNAME."; Initial Catalog=".DATABASENAME."; User ID=".DSN_USER."; Password=".DSN_PWD); $conn = new COM("ADODB.Connection") or die("Cannot start ADO"); $conn->Open(OLEDB_CONNECTION_STRING); $command = "SELECT * from employees"; $rs = $conn->Execute($command); // Recordset $num_columns = $rs->Fields->Count(); $this->set_arr($num_columns); for ($i=0; $i < $num_columns; $i++) { $fld[$i] = $rs->Fields($i); } $rowcount = 0; while (!$rs->EOF) { for ($i=0; $i < $num_columns; $i++) { $arr[$i][$rowcount] = $fld[$i]->value; } $rowcount++; // increments rowcount $rs->MoveNext(); } $rs->Close(); $conn->Close(); $rs = NULL; $conn = NULL; ?> This produces the error: PHP has encountered an Access Violation at 2474FF04 You can also produce an Access Violation by trying to use MSXML Parser 3.0, and by calling the loadXML() method. I downloaded php 4.0.6-dev [2001-05-04] build from php4win32.sourceforge.net/releases/php-4.0.6-dev-20010504.exe --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-05-08 16:30:55] [EMAIL PROTECTED] could you provide a short snippet, i can't reproduce this. are you using the cgi or the isapi version ? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
