Bug description: mysql_fetch_array (); returns NULL on connection/querie failure
Description:
------------
In documentation for mysql_fetch_array (); it says "Returns an array that
corresponds to the fetched row, or FALSE if there are no more rows."
But if connection to database fails or querie is somewhat wrong, this
function will return NULL which is defenitely wrong.
if you have script like
while (FALSE !== ($info = mysql_fetch_array ($result)))
{
...
}
then it will start infinite loop.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
//WARNING! This will start infinite loop
while (FALSE !== ($info = mysql_fetch_array ($result)))
{
}
?>
Expected result:
----------------
Should return FALSE on any failures
Actual result:
--------------
Returns NULL on failures.
