Anyone out there got any experience moving from PHP4.3 to 5.1, and specifically with reference to the problems it causes with reference to a MS-SQL database? I’m getting a really odd change, in that mssql_fetch_array() used to return an empty string for null/zero-length string values, and now it returns a single whitespace character. Which means that all my result evalutions ( and the like) are fucking up, and it’s looking like migrating to the new version may have to be sacked off, which I’d rather not do.

Any help appreciated, as I’m at my wits end.
