Patch: Some undocumented php.ini directives

php.internals

I'm not sure what to do with these, but it annoys me that there are directives which don't even appear in php.ini-dist which can actually affect how PHP works. Here's some I've found, but I'm not sure what the policy is. Anyone have a problem with adding these after 4.3.2? Jani: These aren't new directives. They're already there, but no one knows it. ;) See attached for patch.

I submitet the patch wich added this param, it just disables the internal datetimeconversion of the mssql-dblib, wich does sometimes weird things. Datetime-values are returned in the format "YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS", if this ini-param is set to off, the default value is on. bye,

Michael: Thanks for speaking up! I'd be glad to document this with your help. I have a few questions. 1) What is the format when this param is set to on? 2) This parameter doesn't appear to have any effect on the way FreeTDS returns dates from MSSQL. Can you confirm/deny that?

its a weird format, sometimes I had the date-parts separated with spaces and the time without seconds, I guess it depends on some language settings, or the language of the installed windows.

it also works if you have compiled the MSSQL extension against FreeTDS, but currently there is a bug in the MSSQL extension when FreeTDS is compiled for the sybase-ctlib (wich is the default), wich causes a wrong month­-value because the sybase-lib returns the month starting with 0 and the mssql-dblib with 1 (I submited already a patch for that to Frank M. Kromann). But I don't know the standard format of FreeTDS when converting datetime-values. However, I also saw a lot of bug-reports related this problem (weird datetime-values), it would be good to write in the docu, that this switch is a workaround for that problem. bye,
