odbc_binmode

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7)

odbc_binmode — Handling of binary column data

Description

odbc_binmode ( resource $result_id , int $mode ) : bool

Enables handling of binary column data. ODBC SQL types affected are BINARY, VARBINARY, and LONGVARBINARY.

When binary SQL data is converted to character C data, each byte (8 bits) of source data is represented as two ASCII characters. These characters are the ASCII character representation of the number in its hexadecimal form. For example, a binary 00000001 is converted to "01" and a binary 11111111 is converted to "FF".

**LONGVARBINARY handling**
binmode	longreadlen	result
`ODBC_BINMODE_PASSTHRU`	0	passthru
`ODBC_BINMODE_RETURN`	0	passthru
`ODBC_BINMODE_CONVERT`	0	passthru
`ODBC_BINMODE_PASSTHRU`	0	passthru
`ODBC_BINMODE_PASSTHRU`	>0	passthru
`ODBC_BINMODE_RETURN`	>0	return as is
`ODBC_BINMODE_CONVERT`	>0	return as char

If odbc_fetch_into() is used, passthru means that an empty string is returned for these columns.
