Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-05-31 18:15:30] rob at endertech dot com where do you get that from? on all the english docs i see: "Returns ... that corresponds to the fetched row, or FALSE if there are no more rows." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-05-31 11:00:13] vrana@php.net "Returns ... that corresponds to the fetched row and moves the internal data pointer ahead." by all four functions. Returning false is already mentioned. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-05-30 03:10:59] rob at endertech dot com Description: ------------ my knowledge in the exact manner of these functions is lacking. however, in the documentation, all of the mysql_fetch_* functions fail to mention that a call to it moves the internal data pointer ahead once and returns false if the internal pointer is pointing to a nonexistent row. this is what allows while($row = mysql_fetch_*($res)) to work. thank you, rob Reproduce code: --------------- n/a Expected result: ---------------- n/a Actual result: -------------- n/a ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=33180&edit=1
