LVARCHAR is a Informix text field type of unspecified length similar ro MySQL TEXT field type.

To reproduce this bug follow these steps:

- Create a table with a LVARCHAR field.
- INSERT a row with some data in that field.
- SELECT that row.
- Use ifx_fetch_row to retrieve the field value.

When you access to the field value you will see warnings because the string value that is retrieved is not a NUL terminated string.

//create connection
    $connection=ifx_connect("audit@ifmx00296")
        or die("Couldn't create connection.");

    //create SQL statement
    $sql="select *
    from pjktest
    where col1 matches '$hname'";

//execute SQL query and get result
    $sql_result=ifx_query($sql,$connection)
        or die("Couldn't execute query");

    //format result in HTML table
    ifx_htmltbl_result($sql_result,"border=10");

Using Apache 1.3.22,PHP 4.2.2,Informx 9.21.UC2,ESQL 9.40,AIX 4.3.3.0.
col1 type lvarchar is only column in table, query fails when row is NOT
NULL
