I tried odbc_fetch_into() in the enclosed loop. I had to inset the reset($array) to get the loop working. I figure the function is creating new content in the array but not resetting the array pointer back to the beginning. The function should either
1/ add to the end of the array and increment the pointer
or
2/ replace the contents and reset the pointer.

$sql = "select * from stock";
$result = odbc_exec($connection["vitamins"], $sql);
if($result)
   {
   print("<br>Result from odbc_fetch_into()" );
   $array = "";
   while($result_all = odbc_fetch_into($result, 0, $array))
      {
      reset($array);
      print("<br>" );
      while(list($k, $v) = each($array))
         {
         print($v . "&nbsp;&nbsp;");
         }
      }
   }
else
   {
   print("<br>No result" );
   }

what database is this with?
 [2001-06-01 13:48 UTC] peter at petermoulding dot com 
The database happened to be Access. I have MySQL and PostgeSQL available through ODBC and MySQL direct. I though the action to odbc_fetch_into() would be the same no matter which database.

Normally when a function returns an array, the pointer is at the start. Perhaps this is the result of passing an array by reference and what is needed is a documentation change to highlight what happens to the pointer.

comment from user:

That patch is all Greek to me. I will have to find a 
compiler and learn how to
compile. Is there any chance of putting it in the 
updates at php4win or www.zend.com/snapshots

php4win posted an update 4.0.7 2001-06-11 so I tested that 
and still same
problem. 4.0.7 produced a strange result. The 
code:
while($result_all = odbc_fetch_into($result, 0, $array))
produces:
Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference

The following works:
$zero = 0;
while($result_all = odbc_fetch_into($result, $zero, 
$array))

$zero remains at 0 so is not updated.
