Description:
------------
I am connecting from PHP to Sybase and MSSQL. I have sybase-ct extension enabled. I use freetds-0.63. When I select from MSSQL any column of type "uniqueidentifier", PHP crashes on fetch.

The problem is conversion. Sybase-ct module does not handle CS_UNIQUE_TYPE,  and tries to store the 38 byte string that freetds returns to it into 16 byte string. Freetds refuses to do so and signals an error, which is probably fatal.

Test suite: see reproduce code.

The solution I suggest is to intoduce CS_UNIQUE_TYPE into php_sybase_ct.c, function php_sybase_fetch_result_set for example like this:

			case CS_DECIMAL_TYPE:
				result->datafmt[i].maxlength = result->datafmt[i].precision + 3;
				/* numeric(10) vs numeric(10, 1) */
				result->numerics[i] = (result->datafmt[i].scale == 0) ? 3 : 2;
				break;
			case CS_UNIQUE_TYPE:
				result->datafmt[i].maxlength = 38;
				result->numerics[i] = 0;
				break;
			default:
				result->datafmt[i].maxlength++;
				result->numerics[i] = 0;
				break;



This solution works for me quite well.


Reproduce code:
---------------
create table TEST (a int, b varchar, c uniqueidentifier);
insert into TEST values (1,'hello',newid());

sybase_connect( "srv", "uid", "pwd" );
sybase_select_db( "dbname" );

// this works fine
$res = sybase_query( "select a,b from TEST" );
$row = sybase_fetch_array( $res );

// this crashes
$res = sybase_query( "select a,b,c from TEST" );
$row = sybase_fetch_array( $res );

It is all the same if you use mssql_ functions instead of sybase_ functions.


Expected result:
----------------
eg. row containing
1
'hello'
'EB668095-F85D-4C59-A202-120C5CE1B65'

Actual result:
--------------
crash, in Apache error.log I see this:

[notice] child pid 18857 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
error_handler: Data-conversion resulted in overflow.

This bug still seems to exist in current php 5 and 6 snapshots.

I don't know how exactly there is not enough info in the original post but while the provided patch does fix the problem and work perfectly, patching php may not be an option. So altering your sql to cast the id value into a varchar before it is returned can be used as a workaround untill this ever gets fixed.

You need tds version 7.0 for the bug to rear it's head.

E.g. by "tds version = 7.0" in /etc/freetds/freetds.conf or with TDSVER=7.0 environment variable.
(The 7.0 version transmits UCS-2 instead of ASCII which is used with 4.2) 

I'd really like this fixed, because I need 7.0 for working UTF8 support (with NVARCHARs in my database).

When PHP is run from an apache module and the bug occurs, apache fails to serve (crashes?) any page that uses sybase-connections!

This is still an issue on the php 5.2.1, is it intended to fix this?
 [2008-09-03 09:53 UTC] pajoye@php.net 
Can you try using the latest 5.2.x and 5.3.0 snapshot?

It is not marked as fixed but as "no feedback".

Also 5.2.1 is dead, dead and dead. Please try using 5.3.3 or 5.2.14. Also if you use sqlserver you should use mssql extensions or odbc instead of sybase_ct.
