Bug #11705 Updated: Behavior of odbc_fetch_into function changed between 4.0.5 and 4.0.6

ID: 11705 Updated by: kalowsky Reported By: doc@vulcanmicro.com Old-Status: Open Status: Closed Bug Type: ODBC related Operating system: PHP Version: 4.0.6 Assigned To: Comments: interesting that the second line works. you no longer need to pass $fields as a reference to this function. this is an attempt for odbc to fall into line with the rest of the PHP functionality. it was actually done in 4.0.5 but i'm thinking it was taken out due to the excessively long RC process... and i've since forgotten that change. it's time for me to update the documentation... Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-06-26 13:55:20] doc@vulcanmicro.com Going from php 4.0.5 to php 4.0.6, the following syntax nolonger works: odbc_fetch_into($result,$start-1,&$fields); In 4.0.5 it works, in 4.0.6 it produces this error: Only variables can be passed by reference The following lines DO work however: $tmp=$start-1; odbc_fetch_into($result,$tmp,&$fields); Configure line: ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --with-apxs=/opt/apache/sbin/apxs --enable-track-vars --enable-calendar --with-gdbm --enable-filepro --enable-dbase --enable-ftp --with-imap --with-java=/usr/java1.1 --with-ldap=/usr/src/openldap-1.2.9 --with-ibm-db2=/opt/IBMdb2/V7.1 --enable-trans-sid --with-mysql --enable-sysvshm --enable-sysvsem --with-mcal=/usr --with-ming --with-openssl --with-gd --with-pdflib --with-jpeg-dir=/opt/sfw --with-png-dir=/opt/sfw --with-zlib --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ATTENTION!
