From: torben@php.net Operating system: Mandrake 7.0 PHP version: 4.0 Latest CVS (27/10/2000) PHP Bug Type: ODBC related Bug description: Pass-by-reference problem When calling odbc_fetch_into() with three arguments, all works as expected: the result array is passed by reference and results are placed into it. But when using the two-parameter form, the result array becomes the second parameter, which must be passed like this: odbc_fetch_into($rid, &$arr); in order to have the results placed into $arr. If the & is left out, $arr is not modified. However, using & results in the large compile-time error being printed at the beginning of script output unless it's been masked out in php.ini, since forcing pass-by-ref this way is no longer supported. -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=7488&edit=1
