Description:
------------
I have some Russian text in mssql, with fieldtype nvarchar(50). This text shows correctly in microsoft tools, such as ms sql server management studio express.

Querying the data with ODBC [ odbc_connect("DRIVER={SQL Server};Server=<ip>;Database=<db>;Charset=UTF-8",<user>,<pass>); ] results in questionmarks apart from ASCII characters in the same contents. (Such as "test ????")

I've tried setting collates, languages and such in SQL server and in queries (SET LANGUAGE N'Russian'). Wiresharking the data from webserver (IIS) to browser shows that it's questionmarks and not just being rendered wrong.

Expected result:
----------------
test &#1088;&#1077;&#1084;&#1077;&#1085;

Actual result:
--------------
test ?????

I have the same problem.

Linux:
OpenSuse 11.2
FreeTDS version 0.82-1.1
PHP 5.3.1
Server version: Apache/2.2.13 (Linux/SUSE)

Windows XP Professional:
MSSQL Server Express 2005

I'm using "native" connection - mssql_connect(SERVER, USER, PASSWORD);

here is output:
-------------------------
ID_DC 	ID_DOC 	ID_ATTR 	VALUE
291 	50 	17 	404-78/10-IV
291 	50 	20 	2010-12-10 00:00:00.000
291 	50 	28 	????? - ???? - ?????
291 	50 	34 	????? - ???? - ?????
291 	470 	27 	50
-------------------------
????? should be cyrilic characters. Text shows correctly in microsoft tools, such as ms sql server management studio express.

Does this still happen with any of the actively supported PHP
versions[1]?

> I have the same problem.

No.  Completely different extension.  This bug is about ext/odbc.
