Description:
------------
While e.g. http://php.net/mysql_num_fields shows the documentation for mysql_num_fields(), this doesn't work for http://php.net/mysqli_num_fields (=> "Sorry, but the function mysqli_num_fields  is not in the online manual."). The reason seems to be that the OO-style name is mysqli_result->field_count. The redirection works for e.g. mysqli_num_rows() which OO-style is has the same scheme: mysqli_result->num_rows.

This is not only an issue with the php.net/functionname redirection, but also with the search field in the right upper corner of the website. Searching for "mysqli_num_fields" in the "function list" leads to the same error as described above. Searching in the "online documentation" works, though.

(There might be other examples than mysqli_*, of course.)

I have fixed mysqli_real_escape_string, mysqli_get_connection_stats and friends. However, the specific case mentioned here of mysqli_num_fields will not work yet. I am unsure how to tackle that particular one at this time. Perhaps we need a mysqli specific solution to handle the ones that go from mysqli to mysqli_result.

This should not be closed, the bug is not fixed.

This bug is already 6.5 years old and it still makes it harder to a procedural programmer to find documentation of mysqli functions.

A temporary mysqli specific fix was made for this, so it's moderately fixed. However, the root cause is not yet fixed.

It's not "moderately fixed", it's just "very partially fixed".

You have only fixed that the url https://www.php.net/mysqli_num_fields works, but if you type "mysqli_num_fields" it will show no autocomplete suggestions, and even if you submit, the search will find no results.

For some other mysqli_xxx functions, autocomplete won't show them but the search does find the result and serve the corresponding page.

Others yet work completely.

Search still fails to find mysqli_free_result:
