Bug description: Data returned malformed/irratic with mysql 4.1.1-alpha
Description:
------------
We recently recompiled php to upgrade the mysql client to what the same
version as our mysql server (4.1.1-alpha-max-log)
When we did, mysql_fetch_assoc started producing irratic characters for
the column names (like "#B").
Problem is not limited to mysql_fetch_assoc, we also saw issues with
mysql_fetch_object.
Mysql via command line produces perfect results, it was only when the
content was produced via php that there was a problem.
We were running php 4.3.3, so we tried upgrading php to 4.3.6 and found
that there was no difference.
We were forced to revert back to compiling php with mysql client 4.0.13.
Configure:
./configure' '--with-xmlrpc' '--enable-xslt'
'--with-xslt-sablot=/usr/local/Sablot-1.0'
'--with-zlib-dir=/usr/local/zlib-1.1.4/include'
'--with-expat-dir=/usr/local/expat-1.95.5'
'--with-iconv-dir=/usr/local/iconv-1.9.1'
'--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache-1.3.27/bin/apxs' '--with-curl'
'--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql-max-4.1.1-alpha-pc-linux-i686'
'--with-gd=/usr/local/gd-2.0.11' '--with-png' '--with-jpeg' '--with-ttf'
'--enable-gd-native-ttf' '--with-freetype-dir=/usr/local/freetype-2.1.3'
'--with-gettext'
Reproduce code:
---------------
Specific code is difficult to produce, but it affected multiple
applications, so I assume it will be easy to duplicate. For clarity of the
problem, I'll provide untested sample code that should reproduce the
issue.
$dblink=mysql_connect('localhost', 'user', 'pass');
$result=mysql_query("select * from table limit 1", $dblink);
$row=mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
print_r($row);
Expected result:
----------------
Array (
'column1' => 'value1'
'column2' => 'value2'
...
)
Actual result:
--------------
Array (
'#B' => 'value1'
' ' => 'value1'
...
)
