ID: 23316 Updated by: fmk@php.net Reported By: hammer88 at hotmail dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: MSSQL related Operating System: Windows 2000 PHP Version: 4.3.2-RC New Comment: MSSQL server will return 2 digits after the decimal point for money and small money solumns. You can use the convert() function to increase this to 4 digits. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-05-20 18:21:59] fmk@php.net updating php.exe and php4ts.dll is not enough. all the mssql functions are located in php_mssql.dll. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-04-30 19:39:30] hammer88 at hotmail dot com I did not try modifying the locale format. My solution was just modifying the data type in SQL Server so it was a decimal instead of money. All is well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-04-30 06:14:45] sniper@php.net Did changing the currency settings affect this or not? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-04-24 03:26:49] sniper@php.net try it? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-04-23 16:20:30] hammer88 at hotmail dot com Replaced the php.exe & php4ts.dll files and verified the new version with phpinfo(). But problem still persisted. Is this because php utilizes the local computer's currency settings? Which I assume default for Windows is two decimal places? That wouldn't be cool to have to change that default just for this instance... ideas? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
