Hi,
        I've been having some very wierd problems using arrays and the database
functions for mysql_fetch_array and mssql_fetch_array. (Running on Windows
2000). Please see the comments in the code below.

#connect to the ms sql db
#(the problem also occurs when using a mysql db)
$connsrc = mssql_connect("dellserver","vbweb", "password");
#select the db
mssql_select_db("vbwcontent", $connsrc);
#execute the query
$query = mssql_query("SELECT TOP 10 * FROM dir_items");

#get the number of fields in the query
$count=mssql_num_fields($query);

while ($data=mssql_fetch_array($query)) {
        #in theory, count($data) should return the same number
        #as the $count variable, but it returns twice the amount
        #presumably because of the use of keys and indicies?

        #loop through the returned data
        for ($i=0;$i<$count;$i++) {
                #we can try to do this 2 ways, both cause access errors
                #use the array position. However, once we use this,
                #it appears we cannot use the named field... try it!
                $data[$i]=str_replace("'","''",$data[$i]);

                #alternatively, try getting the name of the field, and reference
                #it using it's named field...
                $pos=mssql_field_name($query,$i);
                $data[$pos]=str_replace("'","''",$data[$pos]);

                #and we still get 'PHP has encountered an Access Violation at 
0146E027',
or
                #Warning: Cannot use a scalar value as an array in D:\Virtual
Hosts\vbweb.co.uk_new\bin\importdata.php on line 27
                #it appears that PHP is getting it's memory in a mess, as
                #some very weird values are returned...
        }

        echo "INSERT INTO dir_items (authorid,url) VALUES
($data[memberid],'$data[url]')";
}

Can any one tell me why this is happening, and any way to work around it?

Regards,
