Morning people. (well it is here, and a pretty one too).
Opinions on freetds support under php4? the latest cvs will build with it,
but for those who have tried it segfaults under certain circumstances.
I have tracked down the problem and "hacked" a fix in, and I *mean* hack,
it sucks, but before I look at a real solution, I wanna know whether
people are interested in supporting it. As far as I am aware, freetds is
the only sybase-ct compatible library that will run on the latest debian
and still talk to MS-SQL, so it might be a good move (I certainly hope
so..:)
Essentially, after you get past the fact that freetds does an
fprintf(stderr) where it shouldn't, the problem is that php4 calls
ct_con_props(CS_GET,CS_CON_STATUS,..), and freetds doesn't support the
status call (hence it tries to tell the user wich an fprintf which
segfaults the program).
As far as I can see, its a missing feature in freetds, which should really
be recitified, I can look at doing that, but is there a decent number of
people who are likely to be in this situation?
Richard.
