Following script causes Bus error with php 4.0.5 & Solid 3.x (and at least 4.0.3 & 4.0.1pl2). It crashes identically as a standalone cgi binary and as a apache module.

<?php
error_reporting(255);
if($hdbc=odbc_connect("tcp localhost 1313","login", "password")) {
  if($hstmt=odbc_prepare($hdbc, "SELECT * FROM FX_USER WHERE LOGIN=?")) {
      if(odbc_execute($hstmt,array("user"))) {
        print("OK -- query completed with success\n");
      }
  }
  odbc_commit($hdbc);
  odbc_close($hdbc);
} else print("Connect to database failed.\n");
?>

Where odbc_prepare causes Bus error and gdb gives following backtrace when configured with "--with-solid --enable-debug".

#0  0xef6c7bb4 in ssa_stmt_getstmtintegerproperty ()

#8  0x24424 in main (argc=2, argv=0xeffffc6c) at cgi_main.c:730

Above script works fine with php 3.0.18RC1 & Solid 3.0 SDK. Older php3 releases had problems to compile with Solid 3.x, but if I recall right php version 3.0.1* had also similar problems. (required little hacking to compile)

Before we continue down this path please ensure you have the
latest libraries from SolidTech. A bunch were distributed
and did not contain any of the important parts built in. 
Contact solidtech support for more information (they are not
available on the Web site).

Once you're sure of this and it still happens... tell us more!

Solidtech support have been contacted and they have provided new libraries for us (3.51.0154). Unfortunately this does not fix the problem.

I also tried this with Solaris 7/Forte 6 compiler/php 4.0.5/solid SDK 3.51.0154 combination. Result is the same.

After some debugging & core dumping I found out that casting odbc_result->numparams to long (instead of SWORD) fixes these problems. (line 270 on ext/odbc/php_odbc.h)

According to the odbc specifications, second parameter for SQLNumParams() should be SQLSMALLINT. This is redefined as SWORD within the php_odbc.h (I wonder why), but removing this define does not fix the problem. It seems that even when Solid gets correct sized parameters it still writes beyond them and thus cause these bus errors.

Got little further, now commit is causing segmentation faults.. :) However changing line 2423 from ext/odbc/php_odbc.c 

from:

#ifndef HAVE_DBMAKER
        if ((*pv_onoff)) {
#else
        if (pv_onoff && (*pv_onoff)) {
#endif

to:
#if !defined(HAVE_DBMAKER) && !defined(HAVE_SOLID) && !defined(HAVE_SOLID_30) &&!defined(HAVE_SOLID_35)
        if ((*pv_onoff)) {
#else
        if (pv_onoff && (*pv_onoff)) {
#endif

..seems to fix problems this time...
 [2001-05-31 11:45 UTC] kalowsky@php.net 
actually the change in the source (which I thought made it into 4.0.5) was:

from:

        #ifndef HAVE_DBMAKER
                if ((*pv_onoff)) {
        #else
        	if (pv_onoff && (*pv_onoff)) {
	#endif

to:
	if (pv_onoff && (*pv_onoff)) {


the SQLSMALLINT and the SWORD are defined to be the same in Solid 3.5 (both are short ints).
 [2001-06-04 06:39 UTC] ville dot alkkiomaki at sonera dot com 
Well.. using short int as a parameter for SQLNumParams() causes bus error and using int (or long) does not. Include files supplied with the Solid SDK also defines that this parameter should be short int, but the library itself seems to handle it as an int. Have I missed something or is this Solid's bug.. (?!) 

Anyway, with these two workarounds the Apache 1.3.19/mod_ssl 2.8.3/OpenSSL 0.9.6a/PHP 4.0.5/Solid SDK 3.50 combination seems to work correctly..
 [2001-06-21 11:17 UTC] kalowsky@php.net 
that would be a bug in Solid I believe (re: short int).  you might wish to contact them and inquire about it.  

marking this as closed as it follows the ODBC spec.
