Status: Bogus
Bug Type: MSSQL related
Operating System: Windows 2000 Server SP4
PHP Version: 4.3.8
New Comment:
This is clearly a bug in mssql dll. The sp_dbcmptlevel change the way
an empty string is stored in sql but it has nothing to do with the fact
that even a field that has not been updated with empty string still "is
seen" as a single character by the mssql library. If you use ADO from
VB, VC etc you get empty string. If you run from Query Analyzer |select
'x' + field + 'x' from table| you get |xx| not |x x| as mssql is
returning. I am using PHP5 MSSQL2000 and the code is not working as it
was with PHP4.0.6 and MSSQL97. Any help will be apreciated.
Thanks

Have you checked that the database is has a compatibility level >= 70?
(see sp_dbcmptlevel)

I too have the same problem when upgrading to 4.3.8.
I did notice that using PEAR:DB functions the problem not longer
happens.

If have installed php version 4.3.8 and 5.0 but with both versions some
sort of the same problem is comming up. When i select all records from a
View stored in MS SQL 2000 ("SELECT * FROM View_name) i get all the
records while the view on SQL server is definied as SELECT * FROM Table
WHERE field IS NOT NULL. When i run this last query in my query analyser
the result is less records then when i start the view query with my php
application.
I think this has something to do with this same problem.

Thanks momo. I've read #25777 and I understand that there are problems
with PHP using older libraries to talk to SQL Server.
I have ntwdblib.dll versions 7.00.839 (this is the one that ships with
PHP including 4.3.9RC3) and 8.00.194 (which comes with SQL 2000) and
the problem described in this bug shows up with both those libs. Is
there an even newer version that I should be using?
