This bug appears to have been in the code for several versions - definitely 4.0.5 through 4.1.1. In the odbc_cursor function (defined in ext/odbc/php_odbc.c), the call to SQLGetInfo (lines 1057-1058 in version 4.1.1 source code) uses a zero as the fourth parameter. This causes odbc_cursor to incorrectly return an empty cursor name, '' (when using different versions of Sybase SQL Anywhere under both QNX and Windows 2000).

The "bug" looks like it is more in the Sybase implementation of the ODBC SQLGetInfo documentation. According to the ODBC documentation, the fourth parameter is supposed to be ignored when the second parameter is set to an int type such as SQL_MAX_CURSOR_NAME_LEN.

The fix/workaround is to change the fourth parameter to:

  sizeof(max_len)

Can this fix be implemented in the base PHP code so that it works with the widest selection of ODBC drivers? Correct implementations should ignore this value. Thanks.
