Description:
------------
When reading data from a SQL Server database, certain ASCII characters are incorrectly retrieved. Entering accented characters into the database works fine, however reading them from the database gives unexpected results.

ASCII chars 33 - 255 entered into database:

!"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~???????????????????????????????? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

(This appears fine when looking at the database using MS Enterprise Manager)

Result from read query:

!"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~__'?".??^%So_zY????Ͼ??????????????????????????ǎ???Ԑ??????ѥ???噞????????? ?Ƅ???????????Ф??????????????


It appears that characters after ASCII #127 are incorrectly returned from the database.

Using SQL Server 7.0 (ISO 8859-1 charset)


Reproduce code:
---------------
$string = '';
for ($i = 33; $i <= 255; $i++)
{
     $string .= chr($i);
}
 $db->query("UPDATE Test SET charset =  0x".bin2hex($string)." WHERE rowID = 1");

$result = $db->query("SELECT charset FROM Test WHERE rowID = 1");

$row = $db->getAssoc($result);

echo $row['charset'];

Expected result:
----------------
I expected to see what I had previously entered into the database. All text that contains accents is wrongly displayed.

Expected:

!"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~???????????????????????????????? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????


Actual result:
--------------
Actual:

!"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~__'?".??^%So_zY????Ͼ??????????????????????????ǎ???Ԑ??????ѥ???噞????????? ?Ƅ???????????Ф??????????????

I have tried connecting to the SQL Server database using ODBC and it retrieves the data perfectly, as expected. I think I will use the ODBC functions for the meanwhile, until this bug is sorted.

You need to use the same codepage to insert and fetch the data. When you insert data as binary values there is no codepage involved in the process but when you select the data it uses the OEM to ANSI convertion defined by the client library.
