A query like this simply gives an error. Firebird, oracle and mysql would have exactly the same problem. The prepare SQL script is invalid so prepare fails. If it works for dblib then I would consider THAT the bug. Parameters can only be assigned to fields identified in the prepared SQL. In this case :null has nothing to identify what it is to be prepared to populate. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
