Re: [PHP4BETA] ODBC functions for PHP 4 improvements

I recently had switched from release sources to CVS, and apparently was using sources from 4.0beta4 which did _not_ handle it. Sorry. >Please revert your patch. Will do. I should do so by checking in another version that has these patches removed, right? >Handling of output parameters is one thing I have on my list, >but didn't want to introduce incompatibilities in the 3.0.x series. You mean "incompatibilities to" the 3.0.x series. To avoid exactly that, after at first patching into odbc_exec() I then instead have introduced (my version) a function odbc_procedure(), which allows output parameters together with odbc_procedure_more() and odbc_procedure_output(). I should send you the files before I check them in, so you'll see. As far as I can tell none of the existing functions is changed in their behavior. The naming seems to make sense, as only SQL procedures can have output parameters, right? >As for LOB handling, what are exactly your ideas on how to improve this? Will be in same files that I'll send you over. Today I am converting sources from php3 to php4. I have it working fine under php3, but that is no longer important. - Leo Baschy <nirvana@got.net>
