Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-09-10 18:48:17] slick dot user at gmail dot com Description: ------------ in the manual under mysql_field_name(), http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-field-name.php. Example 1 is incorrect, the if statement after mysql_connect will always run true and the die statement will always run. Nick Reproduce code: --------------- <?php /* The users table consists of three fields: * user_id * username * password. */ $link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password'); if (!$db_selected) { die('Could not set $dbname: ' . mysql_error()); } $dbname = 'mydb'; $db_selected = mysql_select_db($dbname, $link); if (!$db_selected) { die('Could not set $dbname: ' . mysql_error()); } $res = mysql_query('select * from users', $link); echo mysql_field_name($res, 0) . "\n"; echo mysql_field_name($res, 2); ?> Expected result: ---------------- The above code would produce: Could not set : The if was probably suppose to check $link, not $db_selected ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=30055&edit=1
