Apologies for the repeat to those who are in php-general and php-db. i'm running PHP4.1.1 as a module through Apache 1.3.22 on W2k Server SP2 -- connecting to a MSSQL server running on the same OS.
I'm having 2 problems with the system. 1. on mssql_query(*SELECT statments*); that return MSSQL's 'real' number that have super high precision, php just dies. no log in the error log - and a "connection with the server was reset" from the browser 2. putting multiple SQL statments into a mssql_query() doesn't return a proper result set, and render other mssql_*() functions non-functional for the rest of the execution of the script. explanation of #1: <database snippet comment="Inventory column is of type 'real'"> code inventory name PRC01 2.33 Prince Brand Chips FCA13 9.9999934E-2 Frozen Calamari </database snippet> when i mssql_query("select * from products"); or, more specifically mssql_query("select inventory from products where code = 'FCA13'"); BOOM! php crashes, and i get a pop-up window in MSIE that says, "IE cannot open the site ...... the connection with the server was reset" but mssql_query("select * from products where code = 'PRC01'"); works like a charm..... granted 9.9999934E-2 isn't an actual number for inventory, it should be 0.10. BUT, i can't help that. my application is not the only one that uses this data. This happens on various number with extremely high precision (3.4000000E-8, 9.9999938E-3, etc...) explanation of #2: someone gave me a possible solution to #1: SET TEXTSIZE 2048 before the select. but when i do: mssql_query("SET TEXTSIZE 2048 select inventory from products where code = 'FCA13'"); I get: Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MS SQL-result resource in utils.php on line 50 AND, from then on, no mssql_*() functions work.... Warning: MS SQL: Unable to select database: PRODDB in utils.php on line 48 Warning: MS SQL: Query failed in utils.php on line 50 Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MS SQL-result resource in testms.php on line 72 It turns out when i do any query with mutliple statements in it (even if i don't use the result set for something), it causes the same thing. all mssql_*() functions are rendered non-functional. even something that doesn't access data in the DB, like: mssql_query("declare @P1 float \n set @P1 = 10.00 \n select @P1"); i get the "not a valid MS SQL-result resource" error. is there a setting i can change to make multiple statements OK for PHP? I know the statements run just fine on the SQL server, because i ran MSSQL Profiler on the server to catch all statments and errors, and no errors happened..... but all of the mssql*() calls that come after don't even make it to the SQL server. Thanks for reading a long email, and any help that can be given. jerome _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
