Description: ------------ In the english version of the manual, the documentation for mysql_fetch_field, there's an error in example 1. The second line in the while loop should use $i, not $result. The line $meta = mysql_fetch_field($result); Should be: $meta = mysql_fetch_field($i); Expected result: ---------------- while ($i < mysql_num_fields($result)) { echo "Information for column $i:<br />\n"; $meta = mysql_fetch_field($i); if (!$meta) { echo "No information available<br />\n"; } Actual result: -------------- while ($i < mysql_num_fields($result)) { echo "Information for column $i:<br />\n"; $meta = mysql_fetch_field($result); if (!$meta) { echo "No information available<br />\n"; } -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=25910&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25910&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25910&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25910&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25910&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25910&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25910&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25910&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25910&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25910&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25910&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25910&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25910&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25910&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25910&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25910&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25910&r=float
