Hallo,

I'm using SAP DB 7.3.0.21 with apache 1.3.23/php 4.1.2.
I compiled php with both variants, using a driver manager (iODBC) and
using --with-sapdb, but got the same behavior.
I'm trying to determine the size of a result (from a SELECT-Statement):

First i've got a strange effect with "order by" using the follwing code:

=====================================
function row_count($sth, $CurrentPos=0){
    $count = 0;
    odbc_fetch_row($sth, 0);
    while (odbc_fetch_row($sth)) {
        $count++;
    }
    //odbc_fetch_row($sth, $CurrentPos) // Second call to this function
always returns 0 while uncomment this line;
    return $count;
}

$DSN = "myDB";
$user = "DBA";
$pass = "DBA";

$dbh = odbc_connect($DSN, $user, $pass);

$query = "select 'x' from dual";
echo "Executing: $query<br>";
$sth = odbc_exec($dbh, $query);
echo "First loop: " . row_count($sth) . "<br>";
echo "Second loop: " . row_count($sth) . "<br>";

$query = "select 'x' from dual order by 1";
echo "Executing: $query<br>";
$sth = odbc_exec($dbh, $query);
echo "First loop: " . row_count($sth) . "<br>";
echo "Second loop: " . row_count($sth) . "<br>";

odbc_close($dbh);

=====================================
OUTPUT:
Executing: select 'x' from dual
First loop: 1
Second loop: 1
Executing: select 'x' from dual order by 1
First loop: 1
Second loop: 0
=====================================

Second problem is, when I call odbc_fetch_row($sth, 0) and the cursor is on
position 0 the result will be lost!?

If I do something wrong or you have any comments,
please report them to me.

Kolja
