#49535 [Csd]: mysqli::get_client_info/get_client_version are properties

ID: 49535 Updated by: abedford@php.net Reported By: the_djmaze at hotmail dot com Status: Closed Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Linux PHP Version: Irrelevant Assigned To: abedford New Comment: Yes, you are right - it appears the mysqli->get_client_info() method is there - and what's more it works (according to my test code)! The question now I think is - should it be there, as the mysqli- >get_client_version() method does not seem to be there. So 1) Should these only exist as properties? 2) Should the mysqli->get_client_info() method really be there? 3) If the answer to 2) is yes, what about mysqli->get_client_version() method - why is it missing? I need some clarification on this - there is no point in documenting a method that shouldn't be there - on the other hand - if it should be there I need to document it and also the get_client_version method. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-09-30 08:19:38] rquadling@php.net According to php.exe --rc mysqli on PHP 5.3.2-dev (cli) (built: Sep 24 2009 09:01:58), the methods are NOT static, but normal public functions.

Then the documentation was partial correct, the properties were just missing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-09-28 16:13:19] rquadling@php.net According to reflection, there are both methods AND properties related to getting the client info in the mysqli class, but only a property in relation to the client version. The mysqli_driver class only has properties for client info and version. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-09-28 14:27:39] abedford@php.net Now fixed in the XML sources.
