It has to change the input array, because it
should convert all the values in strings without separating them to be
able to get returned values from stored proc.
Needs documenting.

More specifically, all entries in the array are changed to string
types.
here is more data as requested using var_dump instead of print_r.
BEFORE:
array(3) {
[0]=>
int(44)
[1]=>
NULL
[2]=>
NULL
}
AFTER:
array(3) {
[0]=>
string(2) "44"
[1]=>
string(0) ""
[2]=>
string(0) ""
}

Please change print_r -> var_dump to get more detailed information out
of the $paramList variable.

Description:
------------
Calling odbc_execute modifies the input paramList array.
This happens even when I try to make a copy of the array before passing
it to odbc_execute.
Specifically, null parameters are changed to zero length strings.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
function x( $query, $paramList )
{
$result = odbc_execute( $query, $paramList );
$paramList['timg'] = "Tim Gallagher";
}
// change the server and database below to the correct values for
your setup
$connection = 'DRIVER={SQL
Server};SERVER=server;DATABASE=database';
$handle = odbc_connect( $connection, '', '' );
$query = odbc_prepare( $handle, "INSERT INTO TEST
(ID,CHECK_LONG,CHECK_VARCHAR) VALUES (?, ?, ? )" );
$paramList[0] = 44;
$paramList[1] = null;
$paramList[2] = null;
echo gettype($paramList[2]) . "\n"; // echos NULL
x( $query, $paramList );
echo gettype($paramList[2]) . "\n"; // echos string
print_r( $paramList )
?>
Expected result:
----------------
NULL
string
Array
(
[0] => 44
[1] =>
[2] =>
)
Actual result:
--------------
NULL
NULL
Array
(
[0] => 44
[1] =>
[2] =>
)
