When I run the same program from command line, I'm getting:

Warning: mssql_query(): Sybase:  column 1 has unknown data type (104)
in /root/xtest.php on line 21

Warning: mssql_query(): Sybase:  column 1 has unknown data type (104)

bit: string(0) ""        tiny: string(21) "0                    "

bit: string(0) ""        tiny: string(0) ""

Tried this with php-4.3.4 and php4-STABLE-200401281030. Results are the
same. FreeTDS-0.60

Does this make sense to anyone?

Just to clarify: Expected behaviour is that return values are NULL for
NULL. (definately NOT bool(false) like you suggested in your first
comment)

Accidentally clicked hit Submit before I was done typing..
Using 4.3.5RC2-dev CVS 200401190430 and Debian package freetds-dev
0.61-5 the result is now:

X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.5RC2-dev
bit: int(0)      tiny: int(0)
bit: int(1)      tiny: int(1)
bit: int(0)      tiny: NULL

All the strings are now ints, but as you can see the expected NULL
value is still not there.

Description:
------------
Fields that have the SQL type 'bit' and are nullable return string(1)
"0" for both 0 (false) and NULL values, when using mssql_fetch_row and
similar.

Expected behavior would be to return bool(false) for NULL values.

Reproduce code:
---------------
function vdump($value) {
	ob_start();
	var_dump($value);
	$result = ob_get_contents();
	ob_end_clean();
	return trim($result);
}

$db = mssql_connect('servername', 'username', 'password');
mssql_query("CREATE TABLE #demo (bitfield BIT NULL, tinyfield TINYINT
NULL)", $db);
mssql_query("INSERT INTO #demo (bitfield,tinyfield) VALUES (0, 0)",
$db);
mssql_query("INSERT INTO #demo (bitfield,tinyfield) VALUES (1, 1)",
$db);
mssql_query("INSERT INTO #demo (bitfield,tinyfield) VALUES (NULL,
NULL)", $db);

$result = mssql_query("SELECT * FROM #demo", $db);
while ($row = mssql_fetch_row($result))
	echo "bit: " . vdump($row[0]) . "\t tiny: " . vdump($row[1]) . "\n";

mssql_query("DROP TABLE #demo", $db);


Expected result:
----------------
bit: string(1) "0"	 tiny: string(1) "0"
bit: string(1) "1"	 tiny: string(1) "1"
bit: bool(false)	 tiny: bool(false)

Actual result:
--------------
bit: string(1) "0"	 tiny: string(1) "0"
bit: string(1) "1"	 tiny: string(1) "1"
bit: string(1) "0"	 tiny: bool(false)
