I've come across this recently when talking to MySQL from a Windows application. ODBC didn't like transferring 8-bit data - BLOB and TEXT fields end up as strings of ?. On Windows, you have to open a seperate stream object (ADO >= 2.5) to recover the binary data. How that translates to the ODBC library used by MySQL I have no idea... odbc_binmode() may help, possibly. Have you considered just using the mssql_* library? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
