The blue color shows the missing char.. which is gone somewhere. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-06-19 10:19:36] www dot php dot net at landrovez dot com Description: ------------ I'm running FreeTDS version 0.64 ( latest + stable ) connecting to mssql 2000 database. At the FreeTDS config located at: /etc/freetds.conf I've specified tds version = 8.0 client charset = UTF-8 at the related connection, so far so good. it works. The problem starts printing the data from the database. When the last char of the selected array that I get from the DB query is a hebrew char it moves it to the next position in the array for some reason. It only happens when the last char is hebrew, if the last char is "." for example it works just fine. I think its something to do with UTF-8. Reproduce code: --------------- $mssql = mssql_connect("SQLSERVER", "root", "PASSWORD"); $mssql_db = mssql_select_db("devel_table", $mssql); $download_id = "1"; $download_res = mssql_query("SELECT ID, Title, Description, URL FROM tblDemo WHERE Download_ID = '$download_id'"); $download = mssql_fetch_array($download_res); echo "<pre>" print_r($download[Title]); echo "</pre>"; Expected result: ---------------- Array ( [0] => 1 [ID] => 1 [1] => THE BEST GAME IN THE WORLD [Title] => THE BEST GAME IN THE WORLD [2] => DOWNLOADS THIS GREAT GAME NOW [Description] => DOWNLOADS THIS GREAT GAME NOW [3] => http://sample.com/download.zip [URL] => http://sample.com/download.zip ) Actual result: -------------- Array ( [0] => 1 [ID] => 1 [1] => THE BEST GAME IN THE WORL [Title] => THE BEST GAME IN THE WORL [2] => DDOWNLOADS THIS GREAT GAME NO [Description] => DDOWNLOADS THIS GREAT GAME NO [3] => Whttp://sample.com/download.zip [URL] => Whttp://sample.com/download.zip ) *** the title should have been at hebrew for this bug to happen, for your continence the title and description are set to English just to show the example. As you can see it took the LAST hebrew letter from the END of the vchar and moved it to the NEXT one by the select order. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=41736&edit=1
