Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=38150&edit=1 ID: 38150 Updated by: uw@php.net Reported by: php at adaniels dot nl Summary: Please add row tell and seek for mysqli -Status: Open +Status: Assigned Type: Feature/Change Request Package: MySQLi related Operating System: Any PHP Version: 5.1.4 -Assigned To: +Assigned To: mysql Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: That's for buffered results only. I don't see a big win considering the iterator support added rather recently (but not properly documented). Johannes, what's your take? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-07-19 19:13:24] php at adaniels dot nl I mean: function get_all_rows(mysqli_result $result) { $ptr = $result->row_tell(); $rows = array(); $result->data_seek(0); while ($row = $result->fetch_row()) $rows[] = $row; $result->row_seek($ptr); return $rows; } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-07-19 19:06:42] php at adaniels dot nl Description: ------------ The mysql API functions mysql_row_tell and mysql_row_seek are not ported to the mysqli libary. I believe this is a shame, because currently it isn't possible to create a function which uses a mysql_result but does not influence the code outside of the function. I do not see the fact that, mysqli_row_seek would return a resource and not an actual rownumber, as a problem. P.S. If it is generaly agreed that this is a usefull feature, but there are no volenteers to add the function, I volenteer myself. Reproduce code: --------------- I would like to do the following: function get_all_rows(mysqli_result $result) { $ptr = $result->row_tell(); $rows = array(); while ($row = $result->fetch_row()) $rows[] = $row; $result->row_seek($ptr); return $rows; } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=38150&edit=1
