 ## Remarks  
-When binding null data to server columns of type varbinary, binary, or varbinary(max) you should specify binary encoding (PDO::SQLSRV_ENCODING_BINARY) using the $*driver_options*. See [Constants](../../connect/php/constants-microsoft-drivers-for-php-for-sql-server.md) for more information about encoding constants.
