Hi all, I have been developing in PHP/Interbase for about 2 years, and have just started a new PHP aplication. I wanted to use PEAR's DB abstraction, but am running into (big) problems. I am sure I am doing something really stupid, but let's try anyway External .inc.php file containing the following: require_once("DB.php"); Function Connect_DB() { $dbname="c:\www\support\database\support.gdb"; $dbuser="SYSDBA"; $dbpass="masterkey"; $dbhost="localhost"; $db=DB::connect( "ibase://$dbuser:$dbpass@$dbhost/$dbname" ); return $db; } Function Disconnect_DB($db) { $db->disconnect(); } I include this file, and then have the following code: $db=Connect_DB(); $sql = 'SELECT NAME, DESCRIPTION FROM MENUITEM'; $demoResult = $db->query($sql); if (DB::isError($demoResult)) { die ($demoResult->getMessage()); } $count = 0; $demoResult->fetchInto($row); if ($row = $demoResult->fetchRow()) { $count ++; echo "Line $count"; echo $row[0] . $row[1]. "\n"; } Disconnect_DB($db); The database Seelct statement should return 2 populated rows (and does in other app) The problem is that this section is either totally ignored, or it returns millions of lines with blank $row resurls (ie lines of "Line1\nLine2\n, etc) Where am I going wrong?
