Duplicated of bug #52554

I've also experienced ODBC crashing PHP when the result set contains a Null (and sometimes even when it does not).  This occurs when accessing NUMBER fields in a Pervasive database via an ODBC DSN.

The workaround I found is to add zero or an empty string to the start of the results rather than returning them directly.

i.e. instead of 'Select "MyNumber","MyString" FROM "MyTable"', you'd do this:
'Select 0 + "MyNumber" As "MyNumber", '' + "MyString" As "MyString" FROM "MyTable"'

Weird that nobody seems to fix this, even though the fix is simple and available.
