New Comment:
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
