And it's just a case of overwriting my current php_mssql.dll with the
one in this archive?

There were some mssql fixes committed recently.

I've been on holidays for a while, so missed out on the request to use
the CVS snapshot.
However, yesterday I upgraded to 4.3.0, and the "real" data type
problem became a whole lot worse.
All my real data is currently being retreived by PHP as approximately
4.330e-304. For example, a particular cell that holds the value 0.09
is being retreived by PHP as 4.33060646217E-304.
And it's not even consistent. Another cell in the same column which
also contains 0.09 is coming back as 4.33041176821E-304.
Nor is it proportionate. A cell containing 0.5 is reported as
4.33055085271E-304, which is actually *less* than the first 0.09
example!
Just to test the other end of the range, I put the value 500 into a
"real" cell, and this is what came back: 4.33041185318E-302.
If there is a pattern to these infinitestmal numbers, I can't detect
it. Apart from the 4.330 part, the rest appears essentially random,
and doesn't appear to have any relationship to the actual data.
I can still acquire the correct data using non-PHP technologies, such
as looking at the data directly in SQL Server Query Tool, running
linked tables from MS Access, using ODBC from Excel, etc etc.
PHP appears to be working correctly with all other data types at this
stage.
Please let me know if a fix is likely in the near future. If it's not,
I'll need to implement a workaround, or regress to an earlier PHP
version.
I tried the link you provided to the Win32 CVS snapshot, but I got a
403 Forbidden response.
