It's nonstandard in many ways, the 'read' command doesn't work right in some situations. Besides, it's not a ksh variant. pdksh seems to be a ksh88 variant, but this guy's shell, whatever it is, might be even older yet..!

sqlsrv_free_stmt
SQLSRV_FREE_STMT(3) SQLSRV_FREE_STMT(3)
sqlsrv_free_stmt - Frees all resources for the specified statement
SYNOPSIS
bool sqlsrv_free_stmt (resource $stmt)
DESCRIPTION
Frees all resources for the specified statement. The statement cannot be used after sqlsrv_free_stmt(3) has been called on it. If sql-
srv_free_stmt(3) is called on an in-progress statement that alters server state, statement execution is terminated and the statement is
rolled back.
PARAMETERS
o $stmt
- The statment for which resources are freed. Note that NULL is a valid parameter value. This allows the function to be called
multiple times in a script.
RETURN VALUES
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
sqlsrv_free_stmt(3) example
<?php
$serverName = "serverNamesqlexpress";
$connectionInfo = array( "Database"=>"dbName", "UID"=>"username", "PWD"=>"password");
$conn = sqlsrv_connect( $serverName, $connectionInfo);
if( $conn === false ) {
die( print_r( sqlsrv_errors(), true));
}
$stmt = sqlsrv_query( $conn, "SELECT * FROM Table_1");
if( $stmt === false ) {
die( print_r( sqlsrv_errors(), true));
}
/*-------------------------------
Process query results here.
-------------------------------*/
/* Free the statement resources. */
sqlsrv_free_stmt( $stmt);
?>
NOTES
The main difference between sqlsrv_free_stmt(3) and sqlsrv_cancel(3) is that a statement resource cancelled with sqlsrv_cancel(3) can be
re-executed if it was created with sqlsrv_prepare(3). A statement resource cancelled with sqlsrv_free_statement(3) cannot be re-executed.
