#41647 [NEW]: php and sql server 2000

From: giannisptr at yahoo dot gr Operating system: Win XP PHP version: 5.2.3 PHP Bug Type: *Unicode Issues Bug description: php and sql server 2000 Description: ------------ I implement a web site that invokes a web service (using nusoap.php). The web service queries a table from an sql server 2000 database and returns a string with the records returned. The problem is that althou english characters appear correctly into the string, the greek characters are all replayed by '?'. When used iconv and mb_convert_encoding neither greek nor english characters apper correctly. Is the any solution to this problem??? Reproduce code: --------------- //call web service $retstr= $client->call('GetRecords',$param); //returned string print $retstr; //using iconv print iconv("UCS-2","UTF-8",$retstr); //using mb_convert_encoding print mb_convert_encoding($retstr,"UTF-8","UCS-2"); -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=41647&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41647&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41647&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41647&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41647&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41647&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41647&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41647&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41647&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41647&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41647&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41647&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41647&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41647&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41647&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41647&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41647&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41647&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41647&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41647&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41647&r=mysqlcfg
