Bug #12492 odbc_result fails accessing memo fields by number

If I access a memo field (Access 2000) by name:

  $temp = odbc_result($result,'Description');

I get the expected result, a string value.

If I access the field by number:

  for ($i=1; $i<=odbc_num_fields($result); $i++)
    if (odbc_field_type($result,$i) == 'LONGCHAR')
      $temp = odbc_result($result,$i);

odbc_result fails, returning false.

Correction: I have tracked down the source of the problem; still a bug.

Code was actually like this:

for ($i=1; $i<=odbc_num_fields($result); $i++)
  if (odbc_result($result,$i)) {
     $name = odbc_field_name($result,$i);
     $value = odbc_result($result,$i);
  }

The second odbc_result returned false, the first returned the string.  I solved by assigning to a variable.

New bug:

for ($i=1; $i<=odbc_num_fields($result); $i++) {
  $test = odbc_result($result,$i);

  if (odbc_field_name($result,$i) == 'Description') {
    echo $test;
    echo odbc_result($result,'Description');
    echo odbc_result($result,$i);
  }
}

Only the first echo outputs any value.  Any accesses after the first by odbc_result to a memo field result in failure.  Good programming practice would dictate not to call odbc_result multiple times on the same data, but this behaviour is still unexpected.

I believe this is now fixed.  Thank you for your bug report
