Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/mysqli.more-results#refsect1-mysqli.more-results-returnvalues
---
"Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure".
I suppose that text is copied from other MySQLi functions?

I think it needs a clarification: the function, as stated in its description, indicates whether there are more result sets from a multi-query. So, it should return FALSE if there are no more results (and that is actually not a failure). It returns TRUE only when finding out there are more result sets.
