PHP 4.0 Bug #6339: invalid Sybase-link resource - problem with last opened link

From: dpetrov@nchcapital.com Operating system: FreeBSD 3.4 PHP version: 4.0.1pl2 PHP Bug Type: Sybase-ct (ctlib) related Bug description: invalid Sybase-link resource - problem with last opened link I am giving the simplest example possible: sybase_connect("abc","def","jkl"); // or die("Can't connect!"); $res=sybase_query("Select * FROM Companies"); I always get this: Warning: 1 is not a valid Sybase-Link resource in ... Yet, if I replace 1st line with this: $somevariable = sybase_connect("abc","def","jkl"); // or die("Can't connect!"); then everything works just fine (even though I do not really use $somevariable anywhere). This probably means that the link it not being registered properly internally. I did not have this problem with Sybase-dblib (yet there is a big problem wirg sybase_fetch_row - it core dumps PHP/Apache).
