Bug #10824: does not return more than 256 chars from a varchar

From: sysadminnospam@cheezy.net Operating system: MS Windows 2000 PHP version: 4.0.4pl1 PHP Bug Type: MSSQL related Bug description: does not return more than 256 chars from a varchar Problem: Queries and stored procedures returning varchar data do not return more than 256 chars. The rest is truncated. Affected functions: MSSQL_FETCH_OBJECT MSSQL_FETCH_ARRAY MSSQL_FETCH_ROW (didn't get opportunity to test, but seems likely) I know there was an earlier report similar to this in regards to NCHAR, however, varchar has nothing to do with unicode. Are we looking at the same problem here anyways? Any idea on how long 'til a solution, or some sort of work-around? Using datatype TEXT is NOT an option -- it puts too much overhead on transactions. Since this was classified as a Microsoft problem, I guess upgrading to 4.0.5 would not help, huh? Thanks. -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=10824&edit=1
