odbc_longreadlen — Handling of LONG columns

### Description

odbc_longreadlen(Odbc\Result `$statement`, int `$length`): true

Controls handling of `LONG`, `LONGVARCHAR` and `LONGVARBINARY` columns. The default length can be set using the uodbc.defaultlrl php.ini directive.

### Parameters

`statement`

  The ODBC result object.

`length`

  The number of bytes returned to PHP is controlled by the parameter length. If it is set to `0`, long column data is passed through to the client (i.e. printed) when retrieved with odbc_result().

### Return Values

Always returns `true`.

### Changelog

Version | Description
--- | ---
8.4.0 | `statement` expects an Odbc\Result instance now; previously, a resource was expected.

### Notes

> Note:

> Handling of `LONGVARBINARY` columns is also affected by odbc_binmode().
