Description:
------------
When attempting to access a database we get an exception thrown in informix_statement...

SQLSTATE[22001]: String data, right truncated: -11023 [Informix][Informix ODBC Driver]String data right truncation. (SQLExecute[-11023] at ..\pecl_5_2\pdo_informix\informix_statement.c:725)

This seems to be due to memory problems as shown in the test script below. If the 15th line ($thing = "fails") is commented out the script works. If the line is uncommented it fails with the above exception. Note that testtab contains three fields (field1, field2, field3) defined as char(10).

Client: Windows XP, Informix CSDK 2.90.TC6
Server: SCO OpenServer 5.0.5, Informix SE 7.25.UC6

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
try {
	$dsn = "informix:database=/databases1/scv9/scv9;server=scv9;CursorBehavior=1";
	$connArray = array(
		PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE => PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION,
		PDO::ATTR_CASE => PDO::CASE_LOWER,
		PDO::ATTR_PERSISTENT => true
	);
	$dbConn = new PDO($dsn, "swift", "swift99", $connArray);
	
	$query1 = "select * from testtab where field1 = ?";
	$state = $dbConn->prepare($query1);
	$state->execute(array("A"));

	$thing = "fails";
}
catch (PDOException $e) {
	var_dump($e);
}
?>

I have the same issue using the cvs version of the driver. I also have the string data right truncated occur randomly on a more complex query, one person will enter data and get it, I will try and duplicate and it will go through most of the time. If they submit the same data again (hit refresh) it will often process, or at least after the second or third try.

I just wanted to add, this still intermittently happens with 1.2.0. Most of the time when I can get the error to occur, if I have some extra code [even a print statement will normally do it] between the BindParam and execute() it will run successfully,

Hi Kevin

Thanks for choosing our driver. We are currently looking into it and would get back to you ASAP.

Hi Tom/Kevin

I have tried a couple of things using various versions of Informix with PDO_INFORMIX - 1.2.0. The time we do an stmt->execute, the Driver is supposed to pass correct information to the Server. After that is done, the work of driver is over. In my case, it is doing so. However, I would request you to send me some code in which you are facing problems to reproduce and also the version of Informix Server, OS etc. However, by simple C paradigm we understand that between function calls, adding or removing lines of code can not produce an irrational behavior. Similiarly $state->execute is a simple function call which returns boolean True or False. 

If we look at the definition of error code, it occurs when we try to insert 11 chars for example in a datatype that supports only 10 chars like char(10). Thus again I fail to realize when can a code have such a behavior as mentioned in the bug description. It would be nice if I have some code to reproduce to have a better idea.

Hi,

It seems that the specific extension you are looking for is not installed on the server. You can see the list of all PHP extensions that are available on the server by running "php -m" command from command prompt. If the specific extension is not there then you need to download it from http://pecl4win.php.net/index.php and installation instructions are given in http://in2.php.net/manual/en/install.pecl.windows.php. e.g. if you are looking for PDO_INFORMIX extension, then "php -m" should display this in the list otherwise you need to install it.

Unfortunately this is a problem related to ifx, we don't look after ifx support for PHP. 
We only support pdo_ibm and ibm_db2.

Hi, i'm trying to connect to an informix database server installed on Red Hat OS using  apach web server (wamp). the client should be installed on a Windows NT or XP machine. We alredy have 'informix-CLI for windows (32 bits)version 2.50.TD2' installed on another machine and it connects without any pb with our informix database server. I installed wamp but it didn't work fine with this version of client, it requires 3 version or up. So i installed 'IBM informix client-SDK 3.50'. this 3.50 client seems great with wamp but it couldn't connect to the server. Any advice please. I really need a solution.

thx again for help

Hi Youssef,

Please check the value of the environment variable INFORMIXDIR, this is to be set to the location where your CSDK is installed (if not you will get the error 23101, which you are facing). Also see to that it is set in the system variables.

Are you using a different code set(like utf-8)? if yes, then please check that the locales (namely DB_LOCALE and CLIENT_LOCALE) are set properly. If this is not set properly then this will also cause the error 23101.


Let us know if this solves your problem.

Thanks and Regards

Praveen
