PHP 4.0 Bug #6645 Updated: Solution to 6572

ID: 6645 User Update by: bram@xspace.com Status: Open Bug Type: ODBC related Description: Solution to 6572 That should be SQL_CUR_USE_ODBC without the $. Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-09-09 23:31:59] bram@xspace.com Bug 6572 claims that MEMO fields cannot be read. Oddly, this also happens in ASP/vbscript, however you can MEMO fields to work correctly with the following: You can get MEMO fields to work. Right now it takes some finesse. #1) You may try adding $SQL_CUR_USE_ODBC #2) You need to use odbc_longreadlen before you use odbc_fetch_row, otherwise it will not read enough characters. #3) As of 4.0.2, making odbc_longread too long may cause PHP to become unstable. #4) You may need to make a query that only returns the MEMO field to read it correctly. Otherwise it sometimes just doesn't work (this is similar in ASP and so is probably a bug with Access or ODBC drivers for it.) Example: $conn = odbc_connect( $DSN, $user, $pw, $SQL_CUR_USE_ODBC ); $result = odbc_exec( $conn, $query ); odbc_longreadlen( $result, 1000000); /* Your odbc_fetch_row, etc, will now work */ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=6645
