Bug description: mysql_list_fields deprecated
Description:
------------
I am trying to fetch a complete mySQL table schema and I found a great
function in between the comments for the mysql_fetch_field function.
On the documentation page for mysql_fetch_field function you are using
$result handle like this
$result = mysql_query('select * from table');
....
$meta = mysql_fetch_field($result, $i);
The problem is, that the $meta->def value is ALWAYS empty.
The problem is also noted here:
http://www.phpdig.net/ref/rn41re784.html
Te only way it works is if I use a deprecated function
(mysql_list_fields()) like this:
$result = mysql_list_fields ($dbname, $tablename);
....
$meta = mysql_fetch_field($result, $i);
in this case the $meta->def is populated correctly!
Please make it clear in the documentations OR make it work correctly with
you preffered method:
$result = mysql_query('select * from table');
best regards
Reproduce code:
---------------
---
>From manual page: function.mysql_fetch_field#Examples
---
<?php
mysql_connect("127.0.0.1","nobody","");
$result = mysql_query('select * from table');
//...
$meta = mysql_fetch_field($result, 0);
echo $meta->def;
?>
Expected result:
----------------
0
Actual result:
--------------
null
