You will have much better results if you use the odbtp extension instead of the odbc extenstion, especially on Linux. The odbtp_field_type() function will give you the correct type name. Also, you could use the mssql extension. However, mssql_field_type() returns type names that are not exact. For example, it returns "char" for all character fields even if their type is "varchar", "text", "nchar", "nvarchar" or "ntext". -- bob On Thu, 8 Jul 2004, Jean-François Léost wrote: > hi > > I want to use the function "odbc_field_type" on a linux mandrake 10 with PHP > 4.3.7 with unixODBC et freeTDS > > This function never give me a good answer : > > Example of an answer : > Xÿ¿p ÿ¿h¼fL@p ÿ?HÙ25ù¹áÈJ@XûX@»Q@èÿ¿Q@ > > Someone can help me ? > > Jeff > > -- > PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > > -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
