Description:
------------
PHP does not extract the values in NUMERIC(18,7) and NUMERIC(18,8) columns correctly.

Reproduce code:
---------------
create table test ( d1 numeric(18,7), d2 numeric(18,8));
insert into test (d1,d2) values (6543210.1234567, 87654321.01234567);
commit;

<?
 ibase_connect('localhost:mydb','sysdba', 'aa');

 $res = ibase_query('select d5, d6 from test');
 $row = ibase_fetch_row($res);
 echo "D5 = ".$row[0].",\n";
 echo "D6 = ".$row[1]."\n";
?>



Expected result:
----------------
D5 = 6543210.1234567,
D6 = 87654321.01234567

Actual result:
--------------
D5 = 654321.1234567,
D6 = 8765432.101234567

Fields D5 and D6 should be D1 and D2. Sorry for the confusion.

It works properly with PHP 4.x versions. The problem is in function _php_ibase_var_zval, in the SQL_INT64 branch of the 'case' statement. If I take the same part from PHP 4.4.0 and copy it there, everything works properly (I also needed to add ISC_INT64_FORMAT define which was missing).

Please note that 5.x code works properly with NUMERIC(18,5) for example. But it fails for NUMERIC(18,7) and 18,8. I didn't test other types, but I assume if fails for any precision greater than 6. PHP 4.x code works properly in all cases.

Duplicate of the http://bugs.php.net/39700

This bug is dangerous, because you may get incorrect result when you multiply fields with smaller precision. 

E.g. for international shop:
--------
CREATE TABLE goods (id INTEGER, price NUMERIC(10,4));
CREATE TABLE currency (code CHAR(3), exchange_rate NUMERIC(10,4));
SELECT goods.id, goods.price*currency.exchange_rate AS local_price
 FROM goods, currency WHERE currency.code='EUR'
--------
...and you lucky customers have goods for 1/10 of price :(
