sybase-ct and datetime results

(I posted this also to php.db, but the more I think php.dev would be a better place) Hello, If I do a sybase_query("select getdate()",$Conn) this will return the current date in the format "Nov 3 1998 8:06PM" (so I don't have seconds). I think this leads to the usage of CS_SHORT_DATE in ext/sybase_ct/php_sybase_ct.c (Line 275). Does somebody know, if there is a solution for getting another datetime-format beyond doing something like sybase_query("select convert(varchar,getdate(),108)". Wouldn't it be better to return the "datetime-results" of queries as a timestamp? Or have a php.ini-setting / global parameter how to return "datetime-results"? Thanks for anwers, Bjoern
