I was previously on PHP 5.1.6 and was using the following code:

$dbr = mysql_unbuffered_query($query, $this->con);

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($dbr, $assoc ? MYSQL_ASSOC : MYSQL_NUM))
    $this->result[] = $row;

$this->rows = mysql_num_rows($dbr);

It worked properly. The documentation at
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-num-rows.php indicates
that mysql_num_rows won't return the correct result on unbuffered
queries until all of the rows had been fetched, but since I was
looping through and fetching all rows with mysql_fetch_array, it
worked properly and wasn't a problem.

I've upgraded to PHP 5.3.5 and now mysql_num_rows always returns 0. I
am fetching all rows before calling mysql_num_rows, just like the
documentation says to do, so mysql_num_rows should return the correct
result. Why is it not? Is the documentation wrong now (should it have
been updated to say that mysql_num_rows now NEVER works with
unbuffered queries instead of saying you have to fetch all rows
first)? Is there a bug in PHP? Or am I doing something wrong and it
just coincidentally worked before?

Thanks,

Nick
