The described result is the samen on Linux Debian. The driver (FreeTDS) is different then the
Windows driver. Are you sure this is not a bug in PHP?

(Yes I have seen this bug is 8 years old ;))

It wasn't a support request. I was sure it is a bug, but I didn't realize it could be a
bug in the mssql-lib.

Thanks for your reply

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system
is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

The data you are seeing is returned directly from mssql library without any modifications. So, the
bug (valid bug btw) is not a PHP one, but a bug in the mssql library you are using.

Description:
------------
I executed this query with 2 columns which have the same name:
SELECT tbl1.n_MatchID, tbl2.n_MatchID FROM tbl1,tbl2 WHERE (etc)

When I request the fields, the column_source and the name are the same...

Reproduce code:
---------------
$query = "SELECT Infostrada.tFootballMatch.n_MatchID as a,
Infostrada.tFootballMatchDetail.n_MatchID as b FROM Infostrada.tFootballMatchDetail,
Infostrada.tFootballMatch WHERE Infostrada.tFootballMatch.n_MatchID =
Infostrada.tFootballMatchDetail.n_MatchID";
$result = mssql_query($query) or die();

while($obj = mssql_fetch_field($result)) {
	echo $obj->column_source . "." . $obj->name . "<br>";
}

Expected result:
----------------
tFootballMatch.n_MatchID<br>
tFootballMatchDetail.n_MatchID<br>

($obj->column_source.$obj->name)

Actual result:
--------------
n_MatchID.n_MatchID<br>
n_MatchID.n_MatchID<br>
