From: rob at endertech dot com Operating system: rhel3 PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: doc - mysql_fetch_* lack of info
Description: ------------ my knowledge in the exact manner of these functions is lacking. however, in the documentation, all of the mysql_fetch_* functions fail to mention that a call to it moves the internal data pointer ahead once and returns false if the internal pointer is pointing to a nonexistent row. this is what allows while($row = mysql_fetch_*($res)) to work. thank you, rob Reproduce code: --------------- n/a Expected result: ---------------- n/a Actual result: -------------- n/a -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=33180&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33180&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33180&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33180&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33180&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33180&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33180&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33180&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33180&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33180&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33180&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33180&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33180&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33180&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33180&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33180&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33180&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33180&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33180&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33180&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33180&r=mysqlcfg
