PHP 4.0 Bug #3089: Additional EOS character returned when accessing dates

From: r.willett@linst.ac.uk Operating system: Linux RH 6.0 PHP version: 4.0 Beta 3 PHP Bug Type: Sybase (dblib) related Bug description: Additional EOS character returned when accessing dates I have created a Sybase table with one of the fields defined as a date time. I have written a general purpose PHP script to pull information out of any table. This produces a simple HTML table to display information. The string returned in the array for the date and time sometimes has an extra character on the end of it. Not all the strings have it, just most of them. Refreshing the HTML display, thereby causing a new Sybase query, produces the same 'real' data but the additional character usually moves around. It looks awfully like the end of string character is too high by one. This is running at home and so I can easily change things around to help any debugging.
