#1211 [Bgs]: Site docs for Db:tableInfo error

ID: 1211 Updated by: danielc@analysisandsolutions.com Reported By: js at nexista dot com Status: Bogus Bug Type: Documentation PHP Version: Irrelevant Assigned To: danielc New Comment: The following example works for me: <?php $db =& DB::connect('mysql://root:@localhost/dbname'); $db->query('CREATE TABLE blah (a integer)'); $db->query('INSERT INTO blah VALUES (5)'); $res =& $db->query('SELECT a FROM blah'); print_r($db->tableInfo($res)); print_r($res->tableInfo()); $db->query('DROP TABLE blah'); ?> Please copy and paste it into a stand alone script. What happens? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-04-20 01:00:00] js at nexista dot com Small correction in what I said. That code never worked but in older version I used $res->tableInfo() as you've probably figured out I meant. Joshua ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-04-20 00:56:56] js at nexista dot com Huh. I have mysql, php 4.3x, latest DB and no it doesn't work. It worked before so mysql is not an issue. Code: include('pear/DB.php'); $db =& DB::connect('mysql://root:@localhost/dbname'); $res =& $db->query('SELECT * FROM clients'); $row =& $res->fetchRow(); $info = $db->tableInfo($res); print_r($info); prints zilch. It works if I use an older version of DB and I can print the table info as: $info = $db->tableInfo('clients'); Are you telling me that you can get this to work on mysql with the RESULT object????? I'm checking once more before I file this as a bug. I don't believe I have misunderstood the syntax. Thanks for your time Joshua ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-04-15 03:41:30] danielc at analysisandsolutions dot com I pasted the example into my test script and it worked flawlessly. Note, not all DBMS's support getting info from query results. If you need further help, the pear-general mailing list is the best resource. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-04-14 19:12:56] js at nexista dot com I did not have latest version. Now it doesn't work at all. It still accepts a table name but passing a result object returns nothing. reverting back to old version. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-04-14 15:58:26] danielc at analysisandsolutions dot com The manual is correct for current versions of DB -- meaning including 1.6.0 and greater. If I get a moment I'll add a note to the docs about this. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
