Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php You should write cleaner code and avoid duplicate column names in associative arrays. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-03-29 03:29:04] btherl at yahoo dot com dot au This is not a bug. From the manual: "If two or more columns of the result have the same field names, the last column will take precedence. To access the other column(s) of the same name, you must use the numeric index of the column or make an alias for the column. For aliased columns, you cannot access the contents with the original column name." In this case, the last "id" will be from the right table, whereas index 0 will be from the left table. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-03-29 00:55:42] dgk at visskiss dot org Description: ------------ mysql_fetch_array returns different values for MYSQL_NUM and MYSQL_ASSOC Reproduce code: --------------- $query = "SELECT table1.*, table2.* FROM table1 LEFT JOIN table2 ON table1.id = table2.id WHERE table1.data='foo'"; $result = mysql_query($query); $row=mysql_fetch_array($result); $row['id'] = NULL; //(there is no corresponding row for left join) $row[0] = 2 //there is a value for id from table1... Expected result: ---------------- same value for associative and numerical element Actual result: -------------- assoc picks up one value, num another... seems only to occur for left joins where there is a null row for join criteria.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=40940&edit=1
