I was wondering if maybe someone could shed a light on something for me.

I am performing the same SELECT Statement from Oracle on two servers via a simple export script.


Server one:

My Localhost
Apache/2.2.0 (Win32) PHP/5.1.2 from a RAW field and it is returning the ascii characters, which is what I am trying to do. So this script is performing the extract correctly


The data is being extracted from one table, two rows:
Row one is RAW
Row Two is VARCHAR2

Data in the CSV file is being extracted to a CSV file
Extract is:
row one > 000000000000121C
row two > Sanmina SCI

Server Two:
Apache/2.0.52 (Red Hat) PHP/5.2

Data in the CSV file is being extracted to a CSV file
Extract is:
row one > 
row two > Sanmina SCI

I understand that row one is being extracted is a binary field but I want the extraction to work exactly as my localhost. Is it something in the PHP.ini file or do I need to compile PHP in a different way. I thought that it had to do with mbstring.


Has anyone ever incurred this before or can someone please shed some light on this!
TIA
