PHP MSSQL and DataType `smalldatetime`
During the development of a project we ran into a problem when using mssql_query() on a Microsoft SQL Database table with a column of a datatype `smalldatetime`.
It would appear PHP was returning a dataset from MSSQL but was not allowing the script to continue processing even though a valid dataset was returned. After some digging we found a bug on the PHP website, inherently there was a short term fix which is to disable the converting of MS SQL `smalldatetime` to a PHP date.
Disabling the converting of a MSSQL datetime to a PHP date was quite simple;
ini_set('mssql.datetimeconvert', 0);
I hope this finds someone well.
