New Comment:
Lost track of time, so sorry about that. What we're going to need is
more people who are experiencing this problem.
In answer to your question, I'm not sure if it is a driver issue or not
because I have not upgraded the AIX nor have I upgraded the DB2 driver
nor have I upgraded the DB2 software. I'm waiting for version 9.1 to
come out and buy it, whew, it's a pretty expensive software.
The only thing changes from that time of version 4.0.6 to 4.2.3 was the
inclusion of the '--with-mcrypt' option to the configure command but
this doesn't seem to be the cause of the problem because they are not
related. We had one other user in this bug report who reported this
problem.
So, go ahead and put this bug in inactive status or something until
someone can step forward with the problem. I don't have a solution to
this problem.
Thanks,
Scott
P.S. I have noticed that PHP have a built-in programming script that
allow PHP to create a formatting and datas into a PDF then generate a
PDF file. Maybe PHP developers can do that similar thing by coming up
with some ideas to create a PHP Database or a PHP CVS file that can act
as a database.
The logic shouldn't be too difficult to come up with and it could help
to depend less on the 3rd party database and instead more on the PHP.
It is just an idea but not a bad idea... I would love to hear about it
one day.

To answer some of the comments in here, yes unixODBC is a Driver
Manager much in the same vain as iODBC.
The reason for asking is that while PHP does support DB2, I (as the
developer) have no direct access to a DB2 machine to test if anything
at all works on it. The unixODBC DM is actually the suggested and
prefered method by IBM for connecting to a DB2 installation, not
directly through library linking like you do in a --with-ibm-db2
option.
The point of using a Driver Manager though is to remove the headaches
of using a different database on a per machine basis.
But again absolutely nothing has changed between odbc_fetch_row
functionality from 4.0.6 and 4.2.3, hence I'm wondering if it's a
driver issue.

I'm not sure if I would want to try it. Seem that I would need to use
the driver manager and the driver. It reminded me of OpenLink that
became too much and I threw it out in the past.
I like the idea of having PHP's ODBC to work with DB2 by using the
'--with-ibm-db2' prefix because it give me fewer softwares to work
with. I mean DB2 is not only database I had to deal with, but of some
different database softwares as well as some for Windows. I mean no
offense.
I didn't really have that problem way back in the past. Maybe the
problem will fix itself in the near future. Who know!

Any chance you can try building with unixODBC as the driver, and
connecting via that? It seems to be the recommended means from IBM for
connecting to DB2 systems.

I am having trouble with this as well, and have put in the bug
workaround. It seeks to work but I have noticed that it skips my first
row and duplicates my last row.
