Question

I am using the sqlsrv driver for IIS so I can connect to a MS SQL server in PHP.

I’ve managed to convert a lot of my original mysql_ code and all going well, until I tried to SELECT some DateTime fields from the database. They were coming back as Date objects in PHP rather than strings, I found the fix which is adding this to the connection array:

‘ReturnDatesAsStrings’=>1

Since doing that though my code is broken when trying to populate my recordset:

    function row_read($recordset) {

    if (!$recordset) {
        die('<br><br>Invalid query :<br><br><bold>' . $this->sql . '</bold><br><br>' . sqlsrv_error());
    }

    $rs = sqlsrv_fetch_array($recordset);
    return $rs;
}

The error is: sqlsrv_fetch_array(): 16 is not a valid ss_sqlsrv_stmt resource

There is such little amount of help on that error in Google so this is my only shot! I just don’t get it.

row_read is called from within a While: while ($row = $db->row_read($rs)) {

Any ideas?

Just to add more code and logic – I do a simple SELECT of all my orders, then as it loops through them, I do another 2 SELECT’s on the orders table then the customer table. It’s falling down when I try these extra 2 ‘gets’:

        $this->db->sql = "SELECT * FROM TicketOrders";  

    $rs = $this->db->query($this->db->sql);

    $this->htmlList->path("skin/search.bookings");

    if ($this->db->row_count != 0) {
        while ($row = $this->db->row_read($rs)) {

            // Load the order row
            $this->TicketOrders->get($this->db, $row['Id']);                

            // Load the customer row
            $this->Customers->get($this->db, $row['CustomerId']);

sqlsrv_fetch_array need a ss_sqlsrv_stmt resource. There must be something wrong with your SQL.
