Description:
------------
When inserting an image into MSSQL using SQLVARCHAR, this error is thrown with mssql_bind()...
Warning: mssql_bind() [function.mssql-bind]: Unable to set parameter (not expected)

If SQLTEXT is used the bind succeeds, but the execute fails with...
Operand type clash: text is incompatible with image (expected)

Reproduce code:
---------------
// $filedata read in from drive, $filelen = lenth of data
$sp = mssql_init('MSG_PROC_TEST',$dblink->dbresource);
$mrecnum = '{1C296DF1-EE73-436E-BC55-09C58F53C132}';
$mfilename = '1075318802KUZMA.WAV';
mssql_bind($sp,"@MRECNUM", $mrecnum,SQLVARCHAR,FALSE,FALSE,38);
mssql_bind($sp,"@MFILENAME",$mfilename, SQLVARCHAR,FALSE,FALSE,strlen($mfilename));
mssql_bind($sp,"@MID",&$mid,SQLVARCHAR,true,false,38);
mssql_bind($sp,"@MWAVS",$filedata, SQLVARCHAR,false,false,$filelen);
if(mssql_execute($sp)){
... 

sp example
CREATE PROCEDURE MSG_PROC_TEST
	@MRECNUM UNIQUEIDENTIFIER, @MFILENAME VARCHAR(50),@MID UNIQUEIDENTIFIER OUTPUT,
	@MWAVS IMAGE


Expected result:
----------------
Insert file into image field in MSSQL successfully.

Actual result:
--------------
mssql_bind() or mssql_execute() fails because the data conversion to an image type doesn't work correctly.

Tried the release at http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5.2-win32-latest.zip and got the following calling mssql_bind($sp,"@WAVEIMAGE",$waveinfo,SQLVARCHAR,FALSE,FALSE,$length);
Error:E_WARNING mssql_bind()['a href='function.mssql-bind'>function.mssql-bind</a>]: Unable to set parameter at <xx.php> line xx

Does this issue still exist? I'm still having this issue 2 years after it was reported.

I've not gotten any updates in almost a year on the issue.  It's one of the reasons we've had to abandon PHP in our next generation of our products.

Is anybody working on this?

With MSSQL being removed from PHP as of PHP7.0, and ext/mssql not having a maintainer, I'm gonna close this report as a Won't fix, until maybe one day it will find a new maintainer.

Alternatively you can use sqlsrv from Microsoft if you are on Windows, or pdo_dblib if you are on Unix.
