#41538 [NEW]: Stange behavior when binding NULL variable

From: leligeour at ensiie dot fr Operating system: Linux - FC6 - x86_64 PHP version: 5.2.2 PHP Bug Type: OCI8 related Bug description: Stange behavior when binding NULL variable Description: ------------ Hi, I'm trying to insert NULL value into a Orcale field (whether VARCHAR2 or NUMBER) using oci_bind_by_name. I think that the NULL vars are not handled properly. Expected result: ---------------- I expected something similar to : 1. Inserting "" in a VARCHAR2 should result in an empty field in Oracle (and not a NULL entry) 2. Inserting NULL in a VARCHAR2 should result in a NULL entry in Oracle 3. Inserting NULL in a NUMBER should result in a NULL entry in Oracle I don't think if it should be the default behavior, but it's definitely something that should be possible using php NULL variable. Actual result: -------------- Since this behavior is not documented in the function's help page, here is what I observe: 1. when using SQLT_CHR NULL is inserted as soon as an empty string or NULL is entered 2. when using SQLT_INT, 0 is inserting when NULL is entered -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=41538&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41538&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41538&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41538&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41538&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41538&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41538&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41538&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41538&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41538&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41538&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41538&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41538&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41538&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41538&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41538&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41538&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41538&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41538&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41538&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41538&r=mysqlcfg
