Description:
------------
Turning off mssql.datetimeconvert causes dates returned from SQL queries to be shifted one month back.

The bug is in line 892 of php_mssql.c,v 1.86.2.41

According to description found in:

<http://manuals.sybase.com/onlinebooks/group-cnarc/cng1110e/dblib/@Generic__BookTextView/15105;pt=39614>

dbdatecrack() returns month in range 0...11. So in sprintf() the argument dateinfo.month should become dateinfo.month+1

Reproduce code:
---------------
mssql_query("SELECT CONVERT(DATETIME, '2005-01-01')");
$a = mssql_fetch_row($res); echo $a[0] . "\n";
mssql_query("SELECT CONVERT(DATETIME, '2005-12-01')");
$a = mssql_fetch_row($res); echo $a[0] . "\n";


Expected result:
----------------
2005-01-01 00:00:00
2005-12-01 00:00:00


Actual result:
--------------
2005-00-01 00:00:00
2005-11-01 00:00:00

FreeTDS should be compiled using --enable-msdblib if you are compiling php with --with-mssql.

This is not bogus and I ask you to apply this simple fix. This sprintf() violates dbdatecrack() specification. sprintf() prints invalid date and recompilation of external library is not a fix.

Okay this one is bogus. There are conflicting prototypes for dbdatecrack(3) in Sybase and SQL Server. Sybase requires month to be an offset 0-11 and SQL Server says it should be a proper month 1-12.

So if you use SQL Server and not Sybase, be sure to compile FreeTDS with --enable-msdblib, as suggested by PHP documentation, to get proper dates in PHP.

If you need more details, see this: <http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/freetds/2002q3/008336.html>

Mandrake have not used --enable-msdblib in their RPM.
