#50909 [NEW]: Better wording for Return values

From: correo+phpnet at javierlinares dot com Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: Better wording for Return values Description: ------------ Page: http://php.net/mysqli_query The 'Return values' says: Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure. For SELECT, SHOW, DESCRIBE or EXPLAIN mysqli_query() will return a result object. Maybe a better wording could be clearer, similar to that: Returns FALSE on failure. If success, returns a result object for SELECT, SHOW, DESCRIBE or EXPLAIN and TRUE for the rest of queries. Disclaimer: I am not English native. ;) Reproduce code: --------------- --- From manual page: mysqli.query#Return Values --- -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=50909&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50909&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50909&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50909&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50909&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50909&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50909&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50909&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50909&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50909&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50909&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50909&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50909&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50909&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50909&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50909&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50909&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50909&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50909&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50909&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50909&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50909&r=mysqlcfg
