Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php When functions receive invalid number of parameters they raise an error and return NULL, that's a typically PHP behavior. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-01-03 21:09:35] mo at modejong dot com Description: ------------ The mysql_field_name API should return FALSE on errror, that is what the docs state, but the impl returns NULL. Here is what the current code returns: mysql_field_name($res): Warning: Wrong parameter count for mysql_field_name() in C:\caucho_dev\trunk\qa\php\f.qa on line 11 NULL Reproduce code: --------------- <php out='stdout'> <?php mysql_connect("localhost", "", ""); mysql_query("USE test"); $res = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM test WHERE id = 1"); echo 'mysql_field_name($res): '; var_dump(mysql_field_name($res)); ?> </php> Expected result: ---------------- Should return FALSE. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=43742&edit=1
