#13549 [Opn->Fbk]: Broken NULL column result condition

ID: 13549 Updated by: kalowsky@php.net Reported By: mlemos@acm.org -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: MSSQL related Operating System: Windows 2000 PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: Seeing as this bug was submitted against PHP 4.0.6, and that we are now at 4.2.2 (a long ways) this is now to be considered a feature thanks to backwards compatibility. I haven't seen any other complaints about this functionality, nor have I heard any. A quick search on google reveals no complaints either. I did do my homework Mr. Lemos, so please don't turn this into a personal issue. If you believe that this should be documented, so be it. Write up the bit of documentation that you believe is required, and post it inside this bug.

Do your homework and make it worthy for other developers report any bugs at all. It is not documented anywhere what is returned in the row array for result columns that returned NULL values. Most PHP API for other databases just return an undefined value for the column position in the row array. PHP MSSQL API is not consistent with and so it seems like a bug. If it is not a bug, document the intended behaviour. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-08-13 23:36:08] kalowsky@php.net Sorry, but the bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.

I thought that the array returned by mssql_fetch_row would return an unset entry for the given column position but it seems to set it with a boolean false value now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=13549&edit=1
