Req #55152 [NEW]: Mysql relative seek

From: Operating system: all PHP version: trunk-SVN-2011-07-06 (SVN) Package: MySQL related Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:Mysql relative seek Description: ------------ There is currently a function to do absolute seek in Mysql API. When you need to to relative seek , you have to implement integer counter to keep track of the current cursor position. Then call seek here is a sample code: //iterating over rows for/while....{ mysql_fetch_xxxx(....); $current_row++; [...] // call relative seek $current_row+= $seek_offset; mysql_data_seek($id, $current_row); This quite simple but when the code gets complicated, it s easy to miss on $current_row update. The only only solution is to encapsulate php mysql function in additional abstraction layer to handle counter updates safely. I suppose the internal counter is already available in mysql module. What I am suggesting, is to expose this internal counter by adding a new function to mysql API. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55152&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55152&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55152&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55152&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55152&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55152&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55152&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55152&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55152&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55152&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55152&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55152&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55152&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55152&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55152&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55152&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55152&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55152&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55152&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55152&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55152&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55152&r=mysqlcfg Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55152&r=trysnapshot54
