Bug #15602 Updated: get_object_vars() does not return empty vars

ID: 15602 Updated by: ludoo@php.net Reported By: ludo@sumatrasolutions.com -Status: Open +Status: Closed Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: any PHP Version: 4.1.1 New Comment: - get_object_vars() now works as expected - a patch was committed against the interbase module to return NULL fields from Interbase, instead of ignoring them - a patch is going to be committed to CVS to add an ibase_fetch_assoc() function Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-18 15:16:03] ludo@sumatrasolutions.com I know it's documented in the manual, but aside from being less useful than it could be (sometimes it's useful to get empty object vars too), it's posing a few problems to the PEAR ibase DB driver. The PHP interbase module has no way of returning a hash representation of a row, so the two available solutions are: a) hack something with ibase_num_fields and ibase_field_info to builf a hash (often gets Interbase sync errors if used with a hash ref as target) b) use ibase_fetch_object and either cast it to array, or use get_object_vars(), in both cases rows from the same result set have a different field number, due to missing NULLs and empty values; clearly this is not acceptable Two possible solutions: - modify get_object_vars() to return all object values or - add an ibase_fetch_array() or whatever function ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=15602&edit=1
