#22871 [NEW]: bad return value for ibase_blob_close() and ibase_blob_import()

From: p dot pastori at tiscali dot it Operating system: all PHP version: 4.3.1 PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: bad return value for ibase_blob_close() and ibase_blob_import() Functions ibase_blob_close() and ibase_blob_import() both returns a string (blob_id_str) on success instead of int (as stated by documentation). The returned string may contains NULLs, so to update a database record which contains blob field it is necessary to use the ibase_prepare() (with a ? placeholder for blob_id_string instead of '?' ) instead of ibase_query(). It would be nice to have an exaple of blob insertion which involves the following functions: - ibase_blob_import(), to get the temporary blob_id of just created blob - ibase_prepare() and ibase_execute() for the query that inserts or updates a database record which contains blob (this last step may be in transaction while the first not since it is already in a read-only transaction). Finally into the first example reported on ibase_execute() document page there is an error on the ibase_prepare() where the link_identifier argument is omitted. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=22871&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22871&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22871&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22871&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22871&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22871&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22871&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22871&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22871&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22871&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22871&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22871&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22871&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22871&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22871&r=gnused
