You don't have to perform loopholes like those suggested by David to accomodate for bugs that will never be fixed. The bugs in the php_mssql.dll are not the fault of it's creator, but rather DB-Library. Microsoft stop supporting it after SQL Server 6.5, and will never fix its bugs. The problem I had was that there were no loopholes for the bugs I encountered. For example, there is no loophole for not being able to execute SELECT * FROM SomeTable FOR XML AUTO Personally, I don't like the idea of having to change perfectly good SQL in order to work around driver imperfections. Anyway, good luck, and stay away from real, nvarchar and ntext fields, I wasn't as lucky. :-) -- bob > In any case, the problem was easy solved by the suggestion David gave. > -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
