#43891 [NEW]: mysql_fetch_field for PDO

From: mynameismrburns at yahoo dot co Operating system: any PHP version: 5.2.5 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: mysql_fetch_field for PDO Description: ------------ I Couldn't find anything that replace the mysql_fetch_field function in PDO. I just found this hint: "pdo doesn't care about charsets. if you want to have your connection in unicode / utf-8 or any other encoding, you'll have to tell your database, for example using $dbh->exec('SET CHARACTER SET utf8') (mysql)" But what is with Tables like this: SET CHARACTER SET utf8; CREATE TABLE newtable ( Id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, NewField varchar(255) default NULL, NewField2 varbinary(255) default NULL, PRIMARY KEY (Id) ) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=2 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1; If I now SELECT something, Id and NewField is UTF8 but NewField2 is still binary (like a JPEG). Is there an option or is this not implemented? -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=43891&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43891&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43891&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43891&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43891&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43891&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43891&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43891&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43891&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43891&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43891&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43891&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43891&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43891&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43891&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43891&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43891&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43891&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43891&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43891&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43891&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43891&r=mysqlcfg
