PHPTYPE_STR(EAM|ING) Inconsistency

[owenelisa]

Something very strange is happening with the PHPTYPE_STR(EAM|ING) functions from the official sqlsrv drivers. Randomly, they return different values. I've decided they are the "incorrect" values based on how often they are returned, which is far less often than the ones I've deemed as "correct." If the inconsistency is intended, then I'd like to understand it in order to replicate it. I've snooped around the code over on Azure/msphpsql but could not find anything helpful.
