PHP 4.0 Bug #8494: lack of compatibility

From: jcelle@alternis.fr Operating system: windows nt4 station and server PHP version: 4.0.4 PHP Bug Type: MSSQL related Bug description: lack of compatibility Hello, There seem to be a change in the mssql_query() behavior. There is no return value if you call this function passing a query that does not return rows (select queries). Any call to mssql_query() with an "update" or "delete" sql query returns a blank value, making it impossible to test if the call succeded. I have tried to set to 'on' the mssql.compatability_mode in php.ini but this doesn't change the behavior i have mentionned above. This is also annoying for all the existing code that rely on the mssql_query() return value to check if a query succeeded.; -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=8494&edit=1
