I'm using PHP to talk to an MS Access database.

odbc_result() returns the value of the field on
columns of most datatypes.  When naming a memo
field the contents of the field is echoed to the browser
and returns 1.  I've tested the same functionality with
Tango and do not get this result, therefore it is not
an problem with the ODBC driver.

There seems to be a similar bug where the reply was that
this is a feature, not a bug.  I disagree.

Script on my server: <http://atlas.clearink.com/weird_odbc.php3>
Script showing phpinfo(): <http://atlas.clearink.com/phpinfo.php3>

Here's the script:

<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE>Demonstration of Weird ODBC Behavior</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY>
<?
	/* connect to the data source */
	echo "Connecting to database<BR><BR>\n";
	$DatabaseID = odbc_pconnect("mao", "", "");

	/* execute query */
	echo "Executing Query<BR><BR>\n";
	$dbResult = odbc_exec($DatabaseID, "SELECT * FROM activitytype");

	/* get each row */
	while (odbc_fetch_row($dbResult)) 
	{
		echo "Fetched a row<BR><BR>\n";

		/* put three of the columns into variable */
		echo "Setting Variables<BR><BR>\n";
		$acttype_id = odbc_result($dbResult, "ID");
		$acttype_shortdescription = odbc_result($dbResult, "ShortDescription");
		$acttype_longdescription = odbc_result($dbResult, "LongDescription");

		/* print out the variables */
		echo "Printing data<BR><BR>\n";
		echo $acttype_id . " " . $acttype_shortdescription . "<BR>\n";
		echo $acttype_longdescription . "<BR><BR>\n";
	}

	/* free the memory */
	echo "Freeing result<BR><BR>\n";
	odbc_free_result($dbResult);

?>

</BODY>

Please refer to the documentation for odbc_longreadlen() and odbc_binmode() on how to get
LONG column values returned to your script.
