Please provide a reduced code fragment (<15 lines) producing
this behaviour.

don?t mix up things float!=decimal, which database are you on?

user update:

I rewrote my bug report (#7583) but I can't seem to
post it back again.  I don't know what cvs user id to
use and just entering my password doesn't work.


Anyway here it is again:

-----start bug report #7583-----

Under MS SQL Server 7 ODBC Driver version (accdg to ODBC Data Sources in the
Control Panel) 3.70.06.23 from Microsoft Corporation, Filename:
SQLSRV32.DLL, after upgrading to PHP 4.0.3pl1 from 4.0.2, the following
statements:

$qryid=odbc_exec($link,"select @@IDENTITY as 'lastinserted'");

$lastinserted=odbc_result($qryid,"lastinserted");

seem to be putting a decimal value instead of an integer in $lastinserted
because an error occurs which displays the value of $lastinserted in the
odbc_exec string (that comes after the 2 statements above) as being in
decimal instead of integer format (i.e. 14.00 instead of just 14).

This also happens when retrieving values from columns
like below:

while (($fetchrowstat=odbc_fetch_row($qryid)) && $counter-->0) {
 $subnum=(odbc_result($qryid,"submission_num");
...

'submission_num' is an MS SQL Server 7 integer column of width 4.

----- end bug report #7583 ----

Note: The value being returned by odbc_result() 
always gets printed out in the form xx.00.  Does 
this mean it is decimal?

No feedback.
