#28314 [Bgs]: sybase-ct's MSSQL_ASSOC not defined

ID: 28314 Updated by: iliaa@php.net Reported By: adamh at densi dot com Status: Bogus Bug Type: Sybase-ct (ctlib) related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.3.4 New Comment: The MSSQL_ASSOC constant is ONLY defined by the mssql extension. The sybase extension does not define this constant because sybase_fetch_array() (on which mssql_fetch_array()) is based on in sybase* extension does not support this feature. You should instead be using the sybase_fetch_assoc() function. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-05-07 17:57:43] adamh at densi dot com I respectfully disagree. Sybase_ct gives access to the mssql_fetch_array() function and yet the function does *not* follow the documentation. This is obviously a bug in sybase_ct! php -m does not show mssql; however, it does show sybase_ct. And mssql_fetch_array() is defined and works... but not the way it is supposed to. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-05-07 17:47:39] iliaa@php.net Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Thank you for your interest in PHP. Sounds like you don't actually load the sybase extensions. Make sure that php -m shows "mssql". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-05-07 16:11:41] adamh at densi dot com Description: ------------ From PEAR's DB.php: $ar = @mssql_fetch_array($result, MSSQL_ASSOC); According to the documentation, this should work. On Windows, it does. However, when using the Sybase CT library (for example, apt-get install php4-sybase on Debian), this line will fail because MSSQL_ASSOC isn't defined. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php print MSSQL_ASSOC . "\n"; ?> Expected result: ---------------- 0 Actual result: -------------- PHP Notice: Use of undefined constant MSSQL_ASSOC - assumed 'MSSQL_ASSOC' in /home/adam/t.php on line 3 Notice: Use of undefined constant MSSQL_ASSOC - assumed 'MSSQL_ASSOC' in /home/adam/t.php on line 3 MSSQL_ASSOC ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=28314&edit=1
