Public bug reported: Hi, I hit an issue with phpMyAdmin and submitted it as an issue with them on github (https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/issues/13117) however it concluded the problem lies with PHP and its mysql interface.
My server uses all stock packages from the ubuntu repositories: phpmyadmin ver 4.5.4.1deb2ubuntu2. Apache/2.4.18 (Ubuntu) PHP version: 7.0.15-0ubuntu0.16.04.4 Using the below code: <?php error_reporting(E_ALL); $link = mysqli_connect("localhost", "my_user", "my_password"); /* check connection */ if (mysqli_connect_errno()) { printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error()); exit(); } $query = "SHOW SLAVE HOSTS"; $result = mysqli_query($link, $query); /* get associative array */ while (($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result, MYSQLI_ASSOC)) !== null) { print_r($row); } /* free result set */ mysqli_free_result($result); /* close connection */ mysqli_close($link); ?> I get the following output: PHP Warning: mysqli_fetch_array(): Malformed server packet. Field length pointing 0 bytes after end of packet in /home/xxx/mysql_test on line 16 PHP Warning: mysqli_fetch_array(): Error while reading a row in /home/xxx/mysql_test on line 16 Array ( [Server_id] => 2 [Host] => blacknas [Port] => 3306 [Master_id] => 1 ) The PHP Warnings are the item i'm trying to get support with but I'm finding little out in the ether. ** Affects: php-defaults (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1675117 Title: php mysqli fetch warning To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php-defaults/+bug/1675117/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
