Bug #13799 Updated: PHP selects rows correctly but adds them up wrong

ID: 13799 User updated by: j.ball@rgu.ac.uk Reported By: j.ball@rgu.ac.uk Old Status: Feedback Status: Open Bug Type: MySQL related Operating System: Windows 98 PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: I am accessing my database through phpMyAdmin-2.2.0 and not through my own script - so I know it is not any fault of my scripting abilities! I obtained my copy of the script from SourceForge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpmyadmin/) On reflection, you guys might not have written this so perhaps I should report the bug to SourceForge... if this is the case then please accept my apologies and I will report the bug to SourceForge. Regards Jonathan Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-10-23 09:02:45] sander@php.net Probably not a bug in PHP, but in your script. Can you provide a sample script? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-10-23 08:46:49] j.ball@rgu.ac.uk Using MySQL through the Apache server with a reproduction of the Northwind database (as supplied by MicroSoft). The command: SELECT DISTINCT Customers.* FROM Customers, Orders WHERE Customers.CustomerID = Orders.CustomerID; This works OK when executed by MySQL in DOS (returning 20 records in my version of the Northwind Database). In PHP the command also returns 20 records but PHP incorrectly reports "Showing records 0-30 (387)" at the top of the page. If I leave out the 'DISTINCT' command I get the full 387 records with a correct report "Showing records 0-30 (387)". I amend the query as follows: SELECT DISTINCT Customers.* FROM Customers, Orders WHERE Customers.CustomerID = Orders.CustomerID ORDER BY Customers.CustomerID; PHP now shows the same 20 records and declares "Showing records 0-20 (20)" this time correctly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=13799&edit=1
