Brian,

I downgraded my php to version 3.0.12 and now my CHAR's are working 
correctly, so I'd like to warn anybody trying to use php4.0beta 1 & 2 (zend 
in particular was giving the errors) which is a shame because zend is MUCH 
faster, also the mathematical functions were not working in php4.0beta1 & 2 
possibly because I was doing them on CHAR fields but I have not retested 
?!?

So my big endian hack is working except for the floats which are getting 
automatically rounded up to the nearest integer, could this be freetds or 
php3 doing this ? It is definitely round up (ie. 0.50 = 1 & 0.49 = 0) and 
the only solution is to multiply each float by 100 and then divide by 100 
in the php (for dollars). Also to add to the woes dates are no good either 
but I cast those as char anyway.

Basically you already seem to have most (if not all) of the required big 
endian logic, it just not being correctly identified at build time.

REGARDS
Paul
