Description:
------------
MS SQL Server 2000, FreeTDS 0.63
Output parameters from a stored procedure call contain corrupt data when the result should be NULL. Its particularly noticable for variable length strings as output looks as though it just reads from a random pointer until it find a \0 !

No test is done on whether the output is NULL or not.

Diff below shows proposed change to fix this.
NOTE: This calls a function dbretisnull that is not currently implemented in the FreeTDS package but has been submitted as a proposed change.

Reproduce code:
---------------
function if_null($out) {
	if(is_null($out)) {	return 'null';	}
	else {	return $out; }
}
$int0out =-1;
$varchar0out = -1;
$conn = mssql_connect (DBSERVER, USER, PASS);
mssql_select_db(DBDATABASE, $conn)
$query = mssql_init('usp_output_test', $conn);
mssql_bind($query, "@int0out", $int0out, SQLINT4, true, false);
mssql_bind($query, "@varchar0out", $varchar0out, SQLVARCHAR, true, false, 10);
$myset = mssql_execute($query);
if($line = mssql_fetch_array($myset)) {
	print "there was a result set!";
}
else {
	print "no resultset";
}
print if_null($int0out). " --int0out output</br>";
print if_null($varchar0out). " --varchar0out output</br>";		


Expected result:
----------------
null --int0out output
null --varchar0out output

Actual result:
--------------
null --int0out output
82$&#9508;,&#9565;d&#9829;n&#9555; --varchar0out output

Please try using this CVS snapshot:

Patches suggested are against Snapshot: php5-STABLE-200508021038.tar.gz

Although I haven't actually built an example using that snapshot today I have looked at the code which since it is unchanged would seem to exhibit the same problem.
 [2005-08-02 19:12 UTC] sniper@php.net
Provide patches in unified diff format (diff -u) and against PHP CVS HEAD (we're not likely to release any 5.0.x versions anymore). Put the diffs somewhere were people can download it and put the URLs here.




 [2005-08-05 16:57 UTC] paul dot robinson at groupbc dot com
Patch against php_mssql.c CVS version 1.149 can be found here:
http://cobweb.businesscollaborator.com/pdr/33965.patch

Rationale behind the patch was discussed here:
http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/freetds/2005q3/018851.html
This has been verified to work with FreeTDS releases _after_ 0.63.
Without this patch output parameters that should be null will simply read random data.

Frank, can you check this out?

 [2005-08-06 07:48 UTC] fmk@php.net
This bug has been fixed in CVS.

Snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change
will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at
http://snaps.php.net/.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.
