Re: SQL Server 7 help needed!!!

Hello Frank, If the "Module" (which is ment? mssql7 or isapi?) is in general able to handle this: Why is then the bug #7780 still open (exactly this "Text-chop" under ISAPI)? I can't change to cgi due to the GD-prob. with Dr. Watson, and I also can't check php 4.04 due to the impossibility of update, etc. with MSSQL (result false instead of true). So, when will there be a really working solution? Best regards, Thomas "Frank M. Kromann" wrote: > Hi, > > >It seems php_mssql.dll uses a MSSQL API called "dbdatlen".
