#38150 [NEW]: Please add row tell and seek for mysqli

From: php at adaniels dot nl Operating system: Any PHP version: 5.1.4 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Please add row tell and seek for mysqli 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 bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=38150&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38150&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38150&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38150&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38150&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38150&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38150&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38150&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38150&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38150&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38150&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38150&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38150&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38150&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38150&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38150&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38150&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38150&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38150&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38150&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38150&r=mysqlcfg
