Bug #52658 [NEW]: odbc_fetch_row doesn't fetch memo field

From: Operating system: Windows Sever 2008 PHP version: 5.3.3 Package: ODBC related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:odbc_fetch_row doesn't fetch memo field Description: ------------ odbc_fetch_row doesn't retrieve a memo field from MS access db. It does however retrieve all the other fields in the same row successfully. Without the use of odbc_fetch_row, odbc_result retrieves the memo field exactly as expected. This obviously poses a problem only when trying to retrieve more than one row in a database, which is usually the case more than not. Test script: --------------- while(odbc_fetch_row($result)) { $newsID = odbc_result($result, "newsID"); $newsTitle = odbc_result($result, "newsTitle"); $titleLink = odbc_result($result, "titleLink"); $brief = trim(odbc_result($result, "brief")); $link = $titleLink.$newsID; $newsBrief = substr($brief, 0, 75); echo "<div id=\"newsLink\" class=\"newsTitle\"><a href=\"$link\" onclick=\"window.open('$link', 'GCSNews', 'width=500, height=400, menubar=no, toolbar=no, resizable=no, top=100, left=200'); return false;\">$newsTitle</a></div>"; echo "<div class=\"newsBrief\">$newsBrief...</div>"; } Expected result: ---------------- I expected the memo field "brief" to be fetched, trimmed, and then a substring of the first 75 characters to be stored in $newBrief and print out followed by ... Actual result: -------------- ... when trouble shooting, just echoing $brief showed nothing in the browser. $brief is an empty string when used in conjunction with odbc_fetch_row. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52658&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52658&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52658&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52658&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52658&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52658&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52658&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52658&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52658&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52658&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52658&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52658&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52658&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52658&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52658&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52658&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52658&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52658&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52658&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52658&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52658&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52658&r=mysqlcfg
