Description:
------------
mssql_bind not correctly bind empty strings as parameter value.

I add in php_mssql.c

if(!datalen) {
   datalen = 1;
   maxlen  = 1;
}

After the 

value=(LPBYTE)Z_STRVAL_PP(var);

To fix this problem.
Please add this code to the next PHP realize.

Reproduce code:
---------------
Code 1:
<?php
$cn = mssql_connect($DBSERVER, $DBUSER, $DBPASS);
mssql_select_db($DB, $cn);
$sp = mssql_init("sp_test");
$val = 0;
mssql_bind($sp, "RETVAL", &$val, SQLINT4);
mssql_bind($sp, "@ID", "", SQLVARCHAR, false, 0);
mssql_execute($sp);
mssql_close($cn);
echo $val;
?>
Code 2:
<?php
$cn = mssql_connect($DBSERVER, $DBUSER, $DBPASS);
mssql_select_db($DB, $cn);
$sp = mssql_init("sp_test");
$val = 0;
mssql_bind($sp, "RETVAL", &$val, SQLINT4);
mssql_bind($sp, "@ID", null, SQLVARCHAR, false, 1);
mssql_execute($sp);
mssql_close($cn);
echo $val;
?>

SQL Code

CREATE PROCEDURE sp_test
    @ID varchar(255) null
AS
begin
    if @ID is NULL return 2
    else return 3
END

Expected result:
----------------
1) "3"
2) "2"

Actual result:
--------------
1) "2"
2) "2"

			value=(LPBYTE)Z_STRVAL_PP(var);
		}
	}

To

I'm sorry. This bug is not fixed. This is a bug of the ntwdblib.dll. And after latest updates the bug is return.

When I bind a empty string, the stored procedure received a chr(0) char instead a empty string.

Please roll back last fixes. This bug is irrecoverable.
