Description:
------------
mysqli Object

Exposing the create length of a field as a property of the field object would IMHO be a useful enhancement.

I suspect it should be fairly straightforward as it looks like the field object is acting as a wrapper for the MYSQL_FIELD struct.

Reproduce code:
---------------
N/A

Expected result:
----------------
N/A

Actual result:
--------------
N/A

I will implemented this after fix of MySQL bug #6911 (http://bugs.mysql.com/?id=6911&edit=2).

Currently it's not possible to determine the correct length for certain character sets (like utf8).

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
http://snaps.php.net/.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

Please note that you need MySQL >= 4.1.8 to determine the 
correct length when using character sets which need more 
than 1 byte per character. (see 
http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=6911)
