Unable to save result

Since upgrading to some version of PHP4 + MySQL roughly two months ago now I started getting warnings for returned results sets like this example; Warning: MySQL: Unable to save result set in \ /pub/phpMyAdmin/tbl_replace.php3 on line 73 yes, even the venerable phpMyAdmin is subject to these warnings. It is rather cosmetic because data does get inserted into MySQL and putting a "@" in front of various mysql_*() calls stops these warnings but they are still apparent in new code I try out and it's annoying to have to continually be patching code for this gotcha, whatever it is. I've seen quite a few postings asking about this problem so it's not only me but I have yet to come across the "right answer" to explain why it happens and what is the "right fix". Can anyone put me out of my misery and provide an answer ? --markc
