Description:
------------
isset returns false when applied to a MySQLi_result object that does indeed exist.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$db = new mysqli('localhost', 'test', 'test', 'test');
$result = $db->query('SELECT * FROM test;'); //contains 1 row

echo $result->num_rows;

if (isset($result->num_rows))
	echo 'defined';
else
	echo 'undefined';

?>

Expected result:
----------------
1defined

Actual result:
--------------
1undefined

Why do you test if that property exists anyway? It's always there, you don't need to test for that. :)

The property doesn't exist if the query failed. I realise I could simply check the error member, but I figured I'd still report it because IMO a bug exists - isset incorrectly returns false.

Andrey, any possibility to fix this also in PHP_5_2 ? 
(See bug #44352)

Interesting,
I find this bogus, as if the query has failed $result won't be an object but a boolean value.

Here is the real bug, a Zend Engine bug:
andrey@winnie:/work/mysql-server/mysql-5.1/sql$ php -r '$a=true;var_dump($a);var_dump(isset($a->b));'
bool(true)
bool(false)

It doesn't fail although $a is not an object.
