PHP 4.0 Bug #5444 Updated: Long VARCHARs create invalid strings

ID: 5444 User Update by: schmidt@bcc.de Status: Open Bug Type: Oracle related Description: Long VARCHARs create invalid strings It appears not to depend on the length of the varchars, but it works on a BSD box where I still have to find the configure params... Maybe it's a NLS or UTF or something else character encoding specific. The data presented by Oracle already contains the zeroes (text is "admin", retlen=10). A side effect of this is, a 8 chars text in a varchar(10) can't be read and is truncated, a 18 chars text in a varchar(20) is cut after the first char, and it doesn't throw a warning...
