SOLVED: MSSQL odbc problem

Hi

Trying to use CodeIgniter with odbc to a old MSSQL server.

When fetching the results some of the fields are truncated.

Ex. ["Frame9Val"]=> string(3) "13" --- should show 135
Ex. ["Frame1BVal"]=> string(3) "2�" --- should show 255

Any idea why this is happening?  
It's working when using plain PDO outside CI

Looks like a charset problem? have you checked the database config (char_set, dbcollat)?

Yes, tried different settings without any luck.

Are you on windows or a unix server?

P.S. Your PM are off ^^.

CentOS linux using FreeTDS and unixODBC

I use CI3 with the following settings and with FreeTDS without any problems:

PHP Code:

$db['default'] = array(
    'dsn'    => '',
    'hostname' => 'ip_or_name',
    'username' => 'user',
    'password' => 'password',
    'database' => '',
    'dbdriver' => 'mssql',
    'dbprefix' => '',
    'pconnect' => TRUE,
    'db_debug' => TRUE,
    'cache_on' => TRUE,
    'cachedir' => 'application/cache',
    'char_set' => 'utf8',
    'dbcollat' => 'utf8_general_ci',
    'swap_pre' => '',
    'autoinit' => TRUE,
    'encrypt' => FALSE,
    'compress' => FALSE,
    'stricton' => FALSE,
    'failover' => array(),
    'save_queries' => TRUE
); 


Thank you so much! This was the fix I needed
