<?php

// Connect MSSQL

mssql_connect('local\SQLEXPRESS', 'sa', 'phpfi');

mssql_select_db('php');


// Send a select query to MSSQL

$query = mssql_query('SELECT [name], [age] FROM [php].[dbo].[persons]');


// Print the field type and length

echo 'The field \'age\' has a data length of ' . mssql_field_length($query, 1);


// Free the query result

mssql_free_result($query);

there are same problem with VARBINARY, if you are forced to use existing database with such fields you can do it like this: SELECT CAST(master.dbo.fn_varbintohexstr(VARBINARYFIELD) AS TEXT) FROM table;
