The following script produces an error:

<?

    $chan = mysql_connect ("localhost", "user", "pass") or die ("No connect");
    mysql_select_db ("existing_db", $chan) or die ("Couldn't select");
    $result = mysql_list_fields("existing_table", $chan) or die ("Couldn't list fields");

?>

The output I get is:
Warning: Unable to save MySQL query result in /usr/local/apache/docs/mbug.php on line 5
Couldn't list fields

We're 90% sure that this all worked in PHP 3.0 :(

I will try to confirm this bug.

Please reread the documentation on mysql_list_fields.
The second argument should be a table name, not a mysql result identifier.

Tests using mysql_list_fields ('database_name', 'table_name') and mysql_list_fields ('database_name', 'table_name', $result_id) works as documented.

If - after making syntax changes - the error still occurs, please reopen the bug report.
