Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

The dblib library from Microsoft used to generate the MSSQL extension on Windows has not been updated since SQL Server 6.5. It's not possible to to fix this problem with Microsofts library.

Use text type to return values longer than 255 bytes.

I have a test version of php_dblib.dll available on my home page (http://kromann.info/php.php). So far it's only available for php 5.1. It uses FreeTDS where the limmitations from the MS Library has been fixed. All functions names are still mssql_* so it's a very simple replacement
