Description:
------------
PHP, compiled with --with-sybase-ct=/usr/localFreeTDS crashes with segmentation fault on SELECT from column of type TEXT with empty string value.

Observed on PHP compiled with --with-sybase-ct=/path/to/freetds-0.64/prefix , against MSSQL server 2000

Affects FreeTDS 0.64 and 0.64.1 (with 'post64.patch.gz' applied). Has not been observed with FreeTDS 0.63.

FreeTDS 0.64 alone (without PHP) is not affected.

Possible bug in ext/sybase_ct/php_sybase_ct.c


Reproduce code:
---------------
in MSSQL Enterprise manager:

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[TEST] (
	[TEST_ID] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,
	[TEST_VALUE] [int] NOT NULL ,
	[TEST_TEXT] [text] NULL
) 
insert into TEST (TEST_VALUE) values ('5');
insert into TEST (TEST_VALUE,TEST_TEXT) values ('6','');

in PHP script:
...
$query="SELECT test_text FROM test WHERE test_id=2;
$res=mssql_query($query,$db);


Expected result:
----------------
Empty string.

Actual result:
--------------
PHP crashes with segmentation fault.

CLI version:
- crash with "segmentation fault" message

libphp4.so version:
- affected thread produces a line "[notice] child pid XXXXX exit signal Segmentation fault (11)"  in Apache's error log.

Since I omitted double-quotes at the end of the query, here's the corrected one:

$query="SELECT test_text FROM test WHERE test_id=2";

MS MSL 2000

Have tested code as provided in original bug report.

CLI version:
- crash with "segmentation fault" message

libphp4.so version:
- affected thread produces a line "[notice] child pid XXXXX exit signal
Segmentation fault (11)"  in Apache's error log.

try using --with-mssql instead of --with-sybase-ct. When you are compiling with the sybase option you are not using the MSSQL extension but the sybase extension that happens to have aliasses so you can use mssql_* when you call the functions.

Tested & confirmed: php_mssql extension does not have the problem described. It is a php_sybase_ct extension bug in connection with FreeTDS 0.64.

We are experiencing a similar issue.  Our php scripts will segment fault when a NULL record is encountered.

PHP version: php4-4.3.4-43.77
OS: SLES9 x86_64
FreeTDS Version: 0.64
ODBC Version: unixODBC-2.2.12-13

Our development server is 32 bits, but otherwise identical.  Everything works great in development.

We have tried the same sql queries via isql and the work just fine.  Thus, this seems like a PHP issue.

Here is a sample PHP script below.

<html>
<body>
<table>

<?php
# connect to the Database
$connect = odbc_connect("volunteens-devl", "xxxxxxx", "xxxxxxxx");

# query the users table for all fields
$query = "select top 20 registration_date from REGISTRATIONS";

# perform the query
$result = odbc_exec($connect, $query);

# fetch the data from the database
while(odbc_fetch_row($result))
{
    $field1 = odbc_result($result, 1);
    print("<tr><td>$field1</td></tr>");
    }

# close the connection
odbc_close($connect);

?>

</table>
</body>
</html>
