note 30739 added to function.mysql-fetch-field

mysql_fetch_field will fail if your result set's internal pointer has advanced past the end of the result. So, if you use ... $result = mysql_query("select * from person where id=1"); // returns 1 row $row = mysql_fetch_row($result); while($field = mysql_fetch_field){ echo $field->name; } ... you won't see any fields. If you need to use mysql_fetch_field, you need to do it before you've iterated through all the rows in the result set. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-fetch-field.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+30739 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+30739 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+30739
