#51163 [NEW]: fetch_field variants manual is wrong - they dont provide default value def

From: berniev at bje dot com dot au Operating system: ubuntu 9 PHP version: 5.3.1 PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: fetch_field variants manual is wrong - they dont provide default value def Description: ------------ The manuals for PHP all show mysql_fetch_field (s) (and mysqli) provide the table default value, WHICH THEY DO NOT! The manuals appear to be blatantly wrong. Interestingly the examples conveniently leave out def values. This may also apply to autoinc and primary key flags? The only reference to this I could find anywhere is a note from shoresofnowhere at gmail dot com 26-Aug-2009 10:50 after hours of searching. Please Please update the manuals!! (or fix php !)
