#37232 [NEW]: mssql_connect and mssql_pconnect do not accept password longer than 30 chars

From: rriehle at gmail dot com Operating system: XP SP2 PHP version: 5.1.2 PHP Bug Type: MSSQL related Bug description: mssql_connect and mssql_pconnect do not accept password longer than 30 chars Description: ------------ Using SQL Server 2005 (SP1). Unable to connect with logins that have passwords greater than 30 characters long using mssql_connect or mssql_pconnect. The logins work fine from the server client tools; I spent hours troubleshooting this. sigh. The reason the passwords I was trying to use were 32 characters is becuase I was using MD5 hashes of plain passwords for my server logins. Reproduce code: --------------- $dbh = mssql_pconnect("MyHost", "testlogin", "passwordpasswordpasswordpassword"); OR $dbh = mssql_connect("BUILDWAY-NET", "testlogin", "passwordpasswordpasswordpassword"); Expected result: ---------------- Expect $dbh to hold a link identifier to a mssql connection. I expected that the statements would connect with passwords that have a length as long as the server can accept. Actual result: -------------- Returns false with these messages: Debug Warning: c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\includes\ez_sql-ms.php line 71 - mssql_pconnect() [<a href='file:///C:\Program Files\Zend\ZendStudioClient-5.1.0\docs\PHPmanual/function.mssql-pconnect'>function.mssql-pconnect</a>]: message: Login failed for user 'testlogin'.
