Description:
------------
Our database backend server is on IBM i.  Frontend server is 
Redhat with DB2 Connect installed.  The database table uses 
CCSID 37. When we use DB2 connect CLI at command line, the 
SQL runs just fine, returning 30 "?".  But when running the 
same SQL in PHP, PHP returns half of the column content - 
only 15 "?".

It would appear that php ibm_db2 module has trouble 
interpreting the length of the column or presenting the 
results.

--------------------
[db2inst1@dzendsvr ~]$ db2 "select givenm from webapp.rrootp 
where rrshnbr=2335272"

GIVENM

??????????????????????????????

  1 record(s) selected.

Reproduce code:

[root@dzendsvr public]# cat /var/www/test/jimproject/public/jimtest.php
<?php
$db_name  = 'DRDA_DB';
$usr_name = 'user';
$password = 'xxxxxx';
$conn_resource = db2_connect($db_name, $usr_name, $password);
if ($conn_resource) {
    echo 'Connection to database succeeded.';
} else {
    echo 'Connection to database failed.<br />';
    echo 'SQLSTATE: ' . db2_conn_error() . '<br />';
    echo 'Message: '  . db2_conn_errormsg(). '<br />';
}

# $sql = 'SELECT * from jim.test';
$sql = 'select givenm from webapp.rrootp where rrshnbr = 2335272';
$stmt = db2_exec($conn_resource,$sql,array('cursor' => DB2_SCROLLABLE));
while ($row = db2_fetch_array($stmt)) {
     print "$row[0]\n";
}

db2_close($conn_resource);
?>

Expected result:
----------------
[db2inst1@dzendsvr ~]$ /usr/local/zend/bin/php  
/var/www/test/jimproject/public/jimtest.php
Connection to database 
succeeded.??????????????????????????????

Note: We expect to see thirty ?, as CLI returns. 


Actual result:
--------------
[db2inst1@dzendsvr ~]$ /usr/local/zend/bin/php  
/var/www/test/jimproject/public/jimtest.php
Connection to database succeeded.???????????????

Note: We only see fifteen ?.

Hi,

The characters that you are inserting into the table are double byte chars ("?" is a double byte char). To handle these unicode characters, we need to have unicode support in IBM_DB2 extension (Which is not there as of now).

I suggest you to use VARGRAPHIC data type instead of CHAR/VARCHAR, if you are going to store unicode data in it.

Regards,
Ambrish Bhargava

Thanks very much Ambrish.  

> we need to have unicode support in IBM_DB2 extension (Which

Do you have a rough estimate as to when unicode support will 
be released to public.
