Description:
------------
I report this for 7.0.0RC1 but am able to reproduce also on PHP 5.6.7. MySQL Server is 5.7.8-rc. Test table created with 

CREATE TABLE `marctable` (
 `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
 `jsoncol` json DEFAULT NULL,
 PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=2 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1


Test script:
---------------
<?php

$link = mysqli_init();

$connect_result = mysqli_real_connect($link, '127.0.0.1', 'userxxx', 'passxxx', 'marcdb');

echo "connect_result: " . $connect_result . "\n";

$query_result = mysqli_real_query($link, "select * from marctable");

echo "query result: " . $query_result . "\n";

echo "mysqli_error: " . mysqli_error($link) . "\n";


Expected result:
----------------
connect_result: 1
query result: 1
mysqli_error: 

Actual result:
--------------
connect_result: 1
PHP Warning:  mysqli_real_query(): Unknown type 245 sent by the server. Please send a report to the developers in bugjson.php on line 9

There is a temporary workaround available here.  The test case can be modified to cast the JSON type to a CHAR, which is fine from PHP's perspective:

select id, CAST(jsoncol as CHAR)  from marctable

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

Fixed in PHP-5.6, PHP-7.0 and master (PHP-7.1)

Thank You for your report

Hi Andrey,
I believe you also need to register MYSQLI_TYPE_JSON in ext/mysqli/mysqli.c.

Hi Marc,
I forgot that. A fix got just pushed to 5.6, 7.0 and 7.1

Thanks!

Problem does not seem to be resolved in 5.6.14 for windows. Newer snapshots are somehow not available.

It looks like the issue is resolved when using the approach given by the OP, however, it's still reproducible in 5.6.16 with the following:

$query = mysqli_query($db, $sql); // table contains a JSON field

if (false !== $query) {
    while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($query) {
        // do something
    }
}

JTerry,
can you provide a minimal test case that fails, together with information about PHP version (I suppose 5.6.16), whether libmysql or mysqlnd is used by mysqli (phpinfo() will tell this).

Best,
Andrey
 [2015-12-10 16:00 UTC] jterry at joeterry dot com
Hi Andrey - happy to:

Apache/2.4.6 (CentOS) OpenSSL/1.0.1e-fips PHP/5.6.14
mysqlnd 5.0.11-dev

For the test case, see my previous comment; when that code snippet is executed I see the 245 error. The only note I'd add is that the SQL has a valid JSON column data type in the return, and that your suggestion of CAST(jsoncol AS CHAR) does work around the issue.
