Sorry here's the MSSQL extension code that should have been in the 2nd
part of "Reproduce code".

// MSSQL EXTENSION, data retrieved correctly

$oConn = mssql_connect("localhost",C_Gen_sDbUser,C_Gen_sDbP assword);
mssql_select_db("icds",$oConn);
$oRs = mssql_query("SELECT * FROM T_Course WHERE aCourseID=1");
$aRow = mssql_fetch_array($oRs);

// GOOD: Complete title retrieved (60 chars=120 bytes)
echo $aRow["tTitle"];

mssql_close($oConn);

Description:
------------
This bug has been observed with PHP 4.3.3 and 4.3.4RC2.
Database: MSSQL 2000 (8.00.760) SP3

I have a MSSQL database with a table containing a column tTitle of type
nvarchar(80) (which stands for 80 multi-byte characters).

When a string of 60 Japanese double-byte characters (120 bytes) stored
in column tTitle is retrieved using PHP's ODBC extension, the value is
truncated to 80 bytes.

The PHP MSSQL extension retrieves the data correctly.
Microsoft's ODBC driver (used from ASP) retrieves the data correctly.


MSSQL table structure:

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[T_Course] (
[aCourseID] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,
[tTitle] [nvarchar] (80) COLLATE Japanese_CI_AS NOT NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO


Test data (CSV):
aCourseID,tTitle
1,[string of 60 Japanese double-byte characters]


SQL query:

SELECT * FROM T_Course WHERE aCourseID=1

Reproduce code:
---------------
// ODBC EXTENSION, data truncated

$oConn = odbc_connect(C_Gen_sDbDSN,C_Gen_sDbUser,C_Gen_sDbP assword);
$oRs = odbc_exec($oConn,"SELECT * FROM T_Course WHERE aCourseID=1");
$aRow = odbc_fetch_array($oRs);

// BAD: Title truncated to 80 _bytes_
echo $aRow["tTitle"];

odbc_close($oConn);


// MSSQL EXTENSION, data retrieved correctly

$oConn = odbc_connect(C_Gen_sDbDSN,C_Gen_sDbUser,C_Gen_sDbP assword);
$oRs = odbc_exec($oConn,"SELECT * FROM T_Course WHERE aCourseID=1");
$aRow = odbc_fetch_array($oRs);

// GOOD: Complete title retrieved (60 chars=120 bytes)
echo $aRow["tTitle"];

odbc_close($oConn);

Expected result:
----------------
The ODBC extension should truncate the retrieved data to 80 characters
(instead of 80 bytes).

Actual result:
--------------
The ODBC extension truncates the retrieved data to 80 bytes.
