The following code:
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);

$conn = odbc_connect("netsdk", "yyyy", "xxxx") or die("FAIL CONNECTION");
print "Connected <br>";
print "ODBC_Tables<br>"; 
	$trs = odbc_tables($conn); 
	odbc_free_result($trs);
print "ODBC_Columns<br>"; 
	$colrs = odbc_columns($conn); 
	odbc_free_result($colrs);
print "Done<br>";
?>

Will generate the output:

Connected 
ODBC_Tables
ODBC_Columns

Warning: SQL error: , SQL state 00000 in SQLColumns in d:\inetpub\wwwroot\php\hs~a.php on line 10

Warning: odbc_free_result(): supplied argument is not a valid ODBC result resource in d:\inetpub\wwwroot\php\hs~a.php on line 11
Done

However, the following code with odbc_tables commented out:

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);

$conn = odbc_connect("netsdk", "adodb", "natsoft") or die("FAIL CONNECTION");
print "Connected <br>";
/*print "ODBC_Tables<br>"; 
	$trs = odbc_tables($conn); 
	odbc_free_result($trs);*/
print "ODBC_Columns<br>"; 
	$colrs = odbc_columns($conn); 
	odbc_free_result($colrs);
print "Done<br>";
?>

Works fine with the output:

Connected 
ODBC_Columns
Done

Hope this was clear.

Marking as bogus.  

Using Win2k, and the CGI build I cannot reproduce this at all.  My attempts to showed nothing wrong with the code base that I could find.

Hi

Thanks for testing. I just retested.


When i test with MS Access driver the problem does not occur. 

In the original report, I tested on microsoft sql server 2000, with SQL Server ODBC Driver version 2000.81.9001.00 (MDAC 2.6 installed).  I just retested and still get the problem. I set the "Use ANSI quoted identifiers" and "Use ANSI nulls" in the odbc driver.

Update your MDAC to 2.7 it's the latest and from what I can tell works fine.  I have no SQL-Server to test on though unfortunately.
 [2003-02-15 23:00 UTC] heyjohnlim at yahoo dot com 
I have updated to MDAC 2.7 and it still happens. Perhaps it is due to mssql driver issues.

I looked into this a but more this past week... I still don't see anything outrageously wrong.  Very odd... any chance I can get you to try this script with a lame DB like MS Access?  

I still am unable to reproduce this locally.
 [2003-02-18 23:34 UTC] heyjohnlim at yahoo dot com 
Sorry I forgot to mention, i did test on access previously and it was ok. The mssql odbc driver is probably much more complex.
 [2003-02-19 23:35 UTC] kalowsky@php.net 
Well now that seems really odd.  I guess I'll have to try to get access to a SQLServer machine for some testing... ugh...
 [2003-06-29 22:45 UTC] kalowsky@php.net 
Yep it exists.
 [2003-07-02 04:01 UTC] jlim at natsoft dot com 
Tested with 4.3.3RC2-dev. Same problem with mssql odbc driver.

I also tested with access and oracle odbc drivers and the problem never happens with these drivers, so it appears to be something specific to the way mssql does things.

I also double-checked the MDAC using M'soft's ComCheck program(as i have changed PC's), and it is mdac 2.7 SP1.

The mssql driver version is 2000.81.9031.14, 15/Nov/2002

I just ran into this problem with latest PHP and MSDE2000 (SQL Server 2000 cut down editon).

using somthing like the following does not work ... (pseudo code)

$tables = odbc_tables($con)
while ($t=$odbc_fetch_array($tables))
{
  odbc_columns($con,$t['TABLE_CAT'],$t['TABLE_SCHEM'],$t['TABLE_NAME']); <-- fails here
  display column results
}

but the following does work

$tables = odbc_tables($con)
while ($t=$odbc_fetch_array($tables))
  array_push($tahbles_array,$t);
odbc_free_result($tables);
for (. $t in $tahbles_array .)
{
  odbc_columns(..$t[name].) (as above) 
  display column results
  odbc_free_result()
}
