Doc #60691 [NEW]: ->def missing default value

From: Operating system: Windows XP PHP version: Irrelevant Package: MySQL related Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:->def missing default value Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.mysql-fetch-field#refsect1-function.mysql-fetch-field-returnvalues --- http://www.w3schools.com/php/func_mysql_fetch_field.asp (Purpose: Some reference back to $meta->def) The field - def - does not contain the default value of the mysql column - even if the default values were defined in the table. (PS - The new/upgraded version of PHP manual simply hide this field) I have used PHP 5.3.5 from XAMPP 1.7 version. Test script: --------------- type: $meta->type default: $meta->def unique_key: $meta->unique_key Here, the default value is always missing or returning empty variable. Expected result: ---------------- Default value assiged to the mysql column while creating it using: DEFAULT 'XXX'. For example, is_active enum('N','Y') NOT NULL DEFAULT 'N' COMMENT 'Active record?', Here, for the field is_active, we should have seen 'N' -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60691&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60691&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60691&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60691&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60691&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60691&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60691&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60691&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60691&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60691&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60691&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60691&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60691&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60691&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60691&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60691&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60691&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60691&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60691&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60691&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60691&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60691&r=mysqlcfg
