Re: Re: ODBTP, a possible solution for MS-SQL and other

This is true, but the ODBTP extension provides better support for ODBC than the one included with PHP. Unless I am doing something wrong, I have the following issues with this extension: - nvarchar and ntext data is converted to single byte characcter, which means that only US-ASCII characters will be properly converted. - Cannot process prepared statements like {? = call AddName(?,?)} - odbc_fetch_array does not work, and unless no one is reading the user comments on the PHP Manual, it has been noted. - NULL data is returned as empty strings. - datatime data can only be read and sent in character format. Also, I needed a solution that would work exactly the same on both Win32 and UNIX platforms when connecting to MSSQL. -- bob On Tue, 22 Apr 2003, Manuel Lemos wrote: > Hello, > > On 04/22/2003 10:39 AM, Robert Twitty wrote: > > I am not sure if this would work on a Win32 installation of PHP, where the > > odbc extension is not optional.
