Status: Bogus
Bug Type: MySQL related
Operating System: win98
PHP Version: 4.3.2
New Comment:
I figured it was that line (the "return" gives it away), just don't
understand the stuff it's actually returning. :)
And for some reason google didn't seem to think F stood for friendly.
Maybe someone should complain to google support... ;)

This line (ext/mysql/php_mysql.c:1060 or so) is where
the 'magic' happens:
RETURN_STRING((char *)mysql_stat(&mysql->conn), 1);
This is what mysql_stat() (PHP function) returns.
It's exactly the same data what the mysql_stat() (libmysqlclient C
function) returns.
And btw. the F in RTFM/RTFS means "friendly" :)

acronyms are fine. Just try to miss out the F's in them. :)
Pertaining to the bug: I spent a full 12 mins downloading the PHP
source code (56k), managed to find 'mysql_stat', and could make
absolutely no sense whatsoever of what the code said. :( So RTSC wasn't
much good.
At least i've had the opportunity to broaden someones linguistical
horizons. :)

Heh..bad luck I guess. Don't take it personally, we use acronyms
because we don't know any better. :)
(Also, for most of us english is not our native language, for example I
had to look for "finicky" and "expletive" in my dictionary :)
It's not helping us if people report things as bugs, even as they're a)
not our fault (like this mysql thing) b) not real bugs (and even
documented as not being such).
Whenever you suspect there's a bug, do your homework first before
submitting any reports. That way you save our and your time. First
thing to do is to ask on some mailing list if anybody else is having
same problem. Then if someone says they are and that they also think
it's a bug, search the bug database for possible existing report.
If you can't find an existing report in any catogory or with any status
(bogus included :), then provide a complete report with enough
information (but not too much either).
Then you're helping and not wasting our time.
Thank you for using PHP anyway. :)

call me finicky if you want, but i've reported 2 bugs in the past two
days.
1 reply included "RTFM" (http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=24633&edit=2),
and now you're using RTFS
Having had to google them both, i'm rather disturbed that so many peeps
contributing to the source have to use acronyms that include
expletives!!!
Come to think of it, of the last 3 bugs i've reported, all the replies
were less than savory... Why the hell do people bother reporting them?
I know in the future i won't bother wasting my time trying to help.
As to RTFSing: I would, but i don't have a copy of it, nor would i be
able to understand a copy of it if i aquired one. (C(++) isn't on my
skill list).

To be precise: I KNOW it's mysql "bug".
