Description:
------------
The information given in php.ini is wrong.

Setting "odbc.defaultlrl = 0" is not the same as Passthru (as described 
in php.ini).
To use passthru you have to comment the line containing odbc.defaultlrl.





Reproduce code:
---------------
odbc.defaultlrl = 0

Expected result:
----------------
odbc.defaultlrl = PASSTHRU

Actual result:
--------------
odbc.defaultlrl = 0 (0 bytes is received for every SQL query)

Testing this using an ODBC connection to MS SQL SERVER 2005, commenting out the line causes text fields, when queried through an ODBC connection, to cut off at 4096 characters.

They do indeed cut off at 0 when the setting is set to 0, however.

I'm using a Windows XP 32-bit Zend Core platform, but I've also tested this on a non-Zend Apache server and the result is the same.

That is how it is meant to behave.  "passthru" means that LONG and
LONGVARBINARY column data are directly printed when retrieved via
odbc_result(), instead of being returned as string.

Apparently, the docs can be improved in this regard.
