Reported By: danielc at analysisandsolutions dot com
Status: Bogus
Bug Type: MSSQL related
Operating System: Windows 2000
PHP Version: 4.3.4
New Comment:
textsize and text limit are used by the mssql_connect() function so you
need to specify the values before calling this function.
datetimeconvert is used by the mssql_fetch_*() functions and must be
set before calling any of these functions. This setting is an internal
PHP feature and has nothing to do with the server.

Sniper:
Don't be so dismissive. Most ini_set()'s work just fine regardless of
when they're called. Sessions aren't a good example because all of the
session stuff has to be processed before any output.
If the team doesn't want to spend time fixing this, please turn this
into a documentation bug for ref.mssql.php, where a note should be made
about the need to set these before connecting to a db.

Of course the ini_set() has to be called before anything else is what
might be using the setting. (this is the case for ANY setting, not just
these mssql.* settings, see e.g. session stuff for examples)

Know what? The problem was where the ini_set() calls are made. They
must be done BEFORE the connection is established. Once it's made, it
can't be changed.
Oddly, it doesn't matter when one calls ini_set() for
mssql.datetimeconvert.
So, I'm not sure this bug report should be closed, called bogus or not.
It might be nice to have these work regardless of where they are
called. If no change is made, the behavior needs to be documented.
Couple things to keep in mind about my config:
Using CGI
Loading mssql via php.ini extensions
Versions 4.3.4 and php5-win32-200401081130 snapshot

This seams to be related to how the extension is loaded.
ini_set() works fine in php4 whn the extension is loaded from php.ini,
but not when dl() is used.
The dl() will also cause the output from phpinfo() to be incomplete!

Frank, nothing has changed in that function. Are you sure this really
works with PHP 5..?
