Hi, I am facing some weird results when querying a MSSQL 2008 server, giving me just plain wrong results like "2012-01-01 32747:02" (usage of "mssql_fetch_assoc" originates from the original code fragment): Here's what I do: --------CUT--------- <?php ini_set( 'mssql.datetimeconvert', false ); $dbh = mssql_pconnect( "mssql.example.com", "foor", "bar" ); mssql_select_db( "foobar", $dbh ); $query = "SELECT GETDATE() AS broken"; $sth = mssql_query( $query, $dbh ); $resultArray = array(); while ( $row = mssql_fetch_assoc( $sth ) ) { print "datetimeconvert false - broken date: ".$row['broken']."<br>\n"; } ini_set( 'mssql.datetimeconvert', true ); $query = "SELECT GETDATE() AS good"; $sth = mssql_query( $query, $dbh ); $resultArray = array(); while ( $row = mssql_fetch_assoc( $sth ) ) { print "datetimeconvert true - date ok: ".$row['good']."<br>\n"; } --------CUT--------- When run in a browser, I get this: --------CUT--------- mssql.datetimeconvert false - broken date: 2012-01-01 32659:02 mssql.datetimeconvert true - date ok: Jan 30 2012 04:01:35:903PM --------CUT--------- On the other hand, when I run the script via CLI, I get this --------CUT--------- mssql.datetimeconvert false - broken date: 2012-01-01 00:02:16<br> mssql.datetimeconvert true - date ok: Jan 30 2012 04:01:35:903PM<br> --------CUT--------- When mssql.datetimeconvert is false, the date is just completely wrong ... any ideas? Some stats: "vanilla" and up2date fedora core 16 apache 2.2.21 php-5.3.8-3.fc16.x86_64 with php-mssql-5.3.8-3.fc16.x86_64 freetds-0.91-1.fc16.x86_64 With regrads to freetds, I am not having any troubles retrieving datetime information using the JTDS JDBC driver.
