This bug is very annoying, as empty string is normal and valid value, and is different from NULL value. I have non-NULL-able columns, and I cannot insert empty strings because of this stupid bug. The only workaround is to make NULL-able columns, but then I could not distinguish between omitted (NULL) or valid empty string. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-02-07 23:27:04] tony2001@php.net Assigned to the maintainer. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-02-07 23:19:24] rnerovich at gmail dot com Just tried the new snapshot with the same result. 885: [02/07] [17:17:30] *** array ( 0 => 'ükÁ#ðÌæM†TèÇS±í°', 'ucode' => 'ükÁ#ðÌæM†TèÇS±í°', 1 => NULL, 'phone' => NULL, 2 => NULL, 'account' => NULL, 3 => '423998059-130628001', 'ealoc' => '423998059-130628001', 4 => '2007-02-07 17:17:21', 'time' => '2007-02-07 17:17:21', 5 => 'g÷r}Q\'N°¥@Iñ*¬', 'recid' => 'g÷r}Q\'N°¥@Iñ*¬', 6 => NULL, 'prbstr' => NULL, ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-02-07 22:48:56] tony2001@php.net Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php5.2-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5.2-win32-latest.zip ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
