When using the same code in 2 pages (only the query is different), I checked that odbc_num_rows gives -1 in one of them (the other is ok).

I check the SQL statement, and I conclude:
- if I use ORDER BY (SELECT .. FROM ... ORDER BY ...) the function odbc_num_rows gives me the right number;
- if I remove the ORDER BY (SELECT .. FROM ...), the odbc_num_rows gives -1

code:
$sql=("SELECT id,term FROM dict WHERE state IN (0,1) ORDER BY term");
$result=odbc_exec($db,$sql);
...
if (odbc_num_rows($result)==0)
...

Sorry, but the bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking
support questions. Your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.
For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP,
please visit http://www.php.net/support.php

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

As per ODBC  spec, SQLNumRows is not required to return the number of rows returned by a SELECT statement, but rather to any INSERT or DELETE statement only (this is in the documentation on www.php.net).  A SELECT can return the number of result rows, but that is entirely upto the driver being used, and is not assured to work.
