DB server: MSSQL 2000 System: RedHat Linux 8.0 Driver FreeTDS: 0.61 PHP_rev: 4.3.2 (also tried on 4.3.1 gives same problem) Apache 2.0.46 I'm having a problem with mssql_bind under this configuration it appears not to be binding variables specified to the stored procedure and I was wondering If anyone has come across this before. I have noted from a post in the user manual from the 27th April '03 (http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.mssql-execute.php) that there was a bug in 4.3.2-RC1 for the mssql_bind statement I was wondering If this could also be causing a problem with the binding to stored procedures. I've looked on the bug list and I don't see anything referencing this problem. The code we are using is: $StaffSN = "crl26"; // ****** Init return value ******* // $ret = 1; // ****** Set database vars ******* // $myServer = "sqlserver"; $myUser = "blah"; $myPass = "xxxxxx"; $myDB = "InTime"; // ****** Link to database ******* // $serverLink = mssql_connect($myServer, $myUser, $myPass) or die("Could not connect to SQL Server on $myServer"); $db = mssql_select_db($myDB, $serverLink) or die("Couldn't open database $myDB"); // ****** Query for user details ******* // $query = mssql_init("sp_StaffDetail", $serverLink); mssql_bind($query, "@ShortName", $StaffSN, SQLVARCHAR); mssql_bind($query, "RETVAL", $ret, SQLINT4); $result = mssql_execute($query); The execute gives the error: Warning: mssql_execute(): message: Procedure 'sp_StaffDetail' expects parameter '@ShortName', which was not supplied. (severity 16) in /home/shares/staffweb/index2.php on line 46 Warning: mssql_execute(): stored procedure execution failed in /home/shares/staffweb/index2.php on line 4 I have turned on Debug output on FreeTDS and it seems to show the stored procedure being called without any bound variables (as indicated by the error from PHP) I'm not quite sure if it is PHP not binding the variables or FreeTDS ignoring them, but by the post in the PHP manual (http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.mssql-execute.php) this was working previously with FreeTDS 0.61 so I can only assume it's either PHP, a coding error by the developer, or a set-up problem with FreeTDS. Does anyone have any ideas? Many thanks Andrew Masterton -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
