Description:
------------
When using MYSQLI_USE_RESULT as the second parameter to mysqli_query, fetch_all returns null.

Test script:
---------------
<?php

$m = new MySQLi("", "root", "", "information_schema");

$sql = "show tables";

$res = $m->query($sql, MYSQLI_USE_RESULT);

$rows = $res->fetch_all();

var_dump($rows);

?>

Expected result:
----------------
An array of the table data.

Actual result:
--------------
NULL

Confirmed on Windows build as well using: PHP 5.3.2 (cli) (built: Mar  3 2010 
19:40:13).

Even SELECT'ing a static string (e.g. SELECT 'This is a test.') exhibits this 
behavior.

Makes no sense to use USE_RESULT and buffer the result. Use STORE_RESULT, it is more effective for fetch_all(). Artifically limited.

No, it makes perfect sense. In fact, it should be the preferred way to use fetch_all. Why store the data only to dump it into a PHP array on the next line? That is a very inefficient use of memory and plain careless development.

Or do you mean to say that fetch_all is fundamentally broken and will only work with STORE_RESULT?
 [2010-08-05 14:11 UTC] johannes@php.net 
The key point here is that the stored buffer can directly be used for fetch_all. The fetch_all does nothing but increasing the ref counts on the buffered values and adding them to an array. doing this with USE_RESULT would do an implicit STORE_RESULT.

Marking this a Feature request.

Log: Fix Request #52302 mysqli_fetch_all does not work with MYSQLI_USE_RESULT

Fix will appear in 5.3.4 
In any case, it is sub-optimal to use MYSQLI_USE_RESULT with fetch_all, compared to MYSQLI_STORE_RESULT. However, fetch_all with USE_RESULT should be faster than manually looping.
 [2010-08-10 01:43 UTC] brianlmoon@php.net 
Can we get an E_WARNING when fetch_all is called with a result handle that is using USE_RESULT? Can the documentation be updated to include a notice that this will not work?

USE_RESULT will work, as of 5.3.4 (already in svn). E_WARNING or E_NOTICE?
I mean, it is good for consistency to have it work for both. Sometimes you might get a result set, as a parameter, and don't know where it came from, you should not fail because it was unbuffered. Thus, E_WARNING is a bit too much, IMO, but maybe E_NOTICE...
