php-mssql delivers weird time parts of DATETIME fields in the following setting:

- standard apache & mod_suphp
- untouched /etc/php.ini
- PHP option mssql.datetimeconvert=false
- at least SQL Server 2008, have not tried others

-------CUT--------
<?php
ini_set( 'mssql.datetimeconvert', false );
$dbh = mssql_pconnect( "localhost", "foo", "bar" );
mssql_select_db( "foodb", $dbh );
$query = "SELECT GETDATE() AS brokenDate";
$sth = mssql_query( $query, $dbh );
$resultArray = array();
while ( $row = mssql_fetch_assoc( $sth ) ) {
  print "brokenDate: ".$row['brokenDate']."<br>";
}

gives this in the browser:

------CUT-------
brokenDate: 2011-04-12 32641:04
------CUT-------

with mssql.datetimeconvert set to true, the browser gets this:

------CUT-------
brokenDate: Dec 21 2011 03:25:07:530PM
------CUT-------

The number "32641" always remains the same, whereas the second part "04" changes  depending on some unknown circumstance.

The same example works fine in CLI mode, however ...
