odbc_binmode - Handling of binary column data

SYNOPSIS

       bool odbc_binmode (resource  $result_id, int  $mode)

DESCRIPTION

	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

	If odbc_fetch_into(3) is used, passthru means that an empty string is returned for these columns.

PARAMETERS

	      o $result_id
		- The result identifier.  If $result_id is 0, the settings apply as default for new results.

	      Note

		      Default  for longreadlen is 4096 and $mode defaults to ODBC_BINMODE_RETURN. Handling of binary long columns is also affected
		     by odbc_longreadlen(3).

	      o $mode
		- Possible values for $mode are:

		     o ODBC_BINMODE_PASSTHRU: Passthru BINARY data

		     o ODBC_BINMODE_RETURN: Return as is

		     o ODBC_BINMODE_CONVERT: Convert to char and return

RETURN VALUES

	Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
