Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves. 

A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external 
resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a 
database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates 
all necessary tables, stored procedures etc.

Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

there's no need for test scripts, point just is that calling getColumnMeta() should return the table name of the column

I'm going to look into it and I would like to have a test script handy. I guess you already have one, please provide it, so that I wouldn't have to spend time on it.
Thank you.

actually i don't have a test script...

just run something like

select * from table1 join table2 on (table1.id=table2.id)

the resultset wouldn't allow me to know with field come from table1 or table2, thus you call eg:

getcolumnmeta(5)

and you should also get table_name=>table1 or table2 or whatever

Then please create one, I'll look into the feature request after that.

<?php
$select = $DB->query('SELECT * FROM table1 JOIN table2 ON (table1.id = table2.id)');
$colcount = $select->columnCount();

for ($i=0; $i<$colcount; $i++) {
  $meta = $select->getColumnMeta(0);
  var_dump($meta);
}
?>

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

Snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change
will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

was it implemented for all drivers?

No idea if that's even possible for other drivers than MySQL.

it should, pgsql old driver already has it and i used it

if you look here:
http://it.php.net/manual-lookup.php?pattern=field_table&lang=it
you can find what old drivers already have that function

this should be added at least for:
fbsql: fbsql_field_table
msql: msql_field_table
pgsql: pg_field_table
