I had to stop using it. We're running 5.1.2. Well from my experience with PDO the does the job pretty well and although I use it for mysql I haven't noticed any obvious bug. Update is always needed and since I despise development is M$ windowz I don't know if there are bugs there. Well using PDO will do the magic for you if you plan to migrate to another database. Since you are writing in an object oriented way as far as I can tell then data objects is more suited to your style. -- Thodoris

I'm having a problem getting odbc_num_rows() to return anything other than -1 when querying a stored procedure. I can get it to work using Top in a normal query (non-stored procedure). SELECT Top 100 * FROM Table if I do an odbc_num_rows( result ) on that, I get the number of rows. However... EXEC ProcedureName @Var = 'value' if I do an odbc_num_rows( result), I get -1. The same is true if I did a straight SELECT * FROM Table. I've tried putting Top in my query in the stored procedure. Right now I'm either doing an extra query for @@ROWCOUNT, or I'm doing two result sets, a counting query, and then the normal query. I am concerned about performance in doing the two queries, and with @@ROWCOUNT, I feel I'm just adding extra things to the code that may be unreliable? From what I've read, its something with the ODBC driver, and updating the ODBC driver isn't an option. Anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions? -- -Dan Joseph Dan, If you already have your results in an array, try using count($result); That should count the number of results returned to your result array.
