PHP 4.0 Bug #8041: yp_first and yp_next Return Different Array Formats

From: jalessio@stoic.net Operating system: N/A PHP version: 4.0.3pl1 PHP Bug Type: YP/NIS related Bug description: yp_first and yp_next Return Different Array Formats The output of the yp_first function and the yp_next function return different types of arrays. These two functions are fetching the same information yet returning them in an inconsistent format. yp_first returns an array as such when output with print_r: Array ( [key] => d264 [value] => hal:/export/& ) and yp_next returns an array like this: Array ( [d273] => squash:/export/& ) The result of yp_next if much more intuitive and useful. In any case, a consistent result from these two functions would be nicer.
