Hi Folks: The output of mysqli_fetch_field() produces different results when running against mysqlnd than it does against libmysql. I've mentioned issues along these lines a couple times on the list in the midst of other threads relating to MySQL handling, but nobody has really addressed it directly.
The "length" property is what's tripping up my unit tests. I'm building PHP 5.4 from svn for both tests. The only difference between them is the with-mysqli declaration. Here is a table summarizing the situation: type libmysql mysqlnd ---- -------- ------- TEXT 65535 196605 CHAR(2) 2 6 Is this intended behavior? Below is a test script that produce those results. Thanks, --Dan <?php $db = new mysqli(null, $_ENV['MYSQL_TEST_USER'], $_ENV['MYSQL_TEST_PASSWD'], $_ENV['MYSQL_TEST_DB'], null, $_ENV['MYSQL_TEST_SOCKET']); $result = $db->query("CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE phptest_fk ( txt TEXT NULL, chr CHAR(2) default 'df' NOT NULL)"); if (!$result) { echo "OOPS: $db->error\n"; exit(1); } $result = $db->query("INSERT INTO phptest_fk VALUES ('One', 'c1')"); $result = $db->query("SELECT * FROM phptest_fk"); $info = $result->fetch_field(); echo "$info->name $info->length\n"; $info = $result->fetch_field(); echo "$info->name $info->length\n"; ?> -- T H E A N A L Y S I S A N D S O L U T I O N S C O M P A N Y data intensive web and database programming http://www.AnalysisAndSolutions.com/ 4015 7th Ave #4, Brooklyn NY 11232 v: 718-854-0335 f: 718-854-0409 -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
