  It seems that when no rows are returned by a query posted in PHP the
mssql_query is returning 1 and not a resource id ...

  Ok, I created a table in my Sql Server 2000 ( SP 3.0 ) that's looking
like this :

a       b       c
1       2       two
2       3       tree
3       5       five

a int identity(1,1), b tinyint, c varchar(16)

and I have a php script looking like this :

  $msdb = mssql_connect("192.193.194.1", "user", "pass");
  mssql_select_db("database",$msdb);

  $result = mssql_query("SELECT c FROM _test WHERE b = 2", $msdb);
  echo("<br>$result : ");
  while ( $msrow = mssql_fetch_row($result) )
    echo($msrow[0]."<br>\n");

  $result = mssql_query("SELECT c FROM _test WHERE b = 6", $msdb);
  echo("<br>$result : ");
  while ( $msrow = mssql_fetch_row($result) )
     echo($msrow[0]."<br>\n");

  $result = mssql_query("SELECT c FROM _test WHERE b = 3", $msdb);
  echo("<br>$result : ");
  while ( $msrow = mssql_fetch_row($result) )
  echo($msrow[0]."<br>\n");

  mssql_close($msdb);

 The result is :

Resource id #3 : two

1 :
Warning: mssql_fetch_row(): supplied argument is not a valid Sybase result
resource in /home/www/anonim/index.php on line 12

Resource id #4 : tree

  What am I doing wrong ?
