I've run into a strange problem with mysql_field_len returning -1 on
any / all calls to it. This is on an Unbuntu Dapper system, with PHP
4.4.2, MySQL 4.1.15, and the PHP/MySQL Client API is 5.0.18. This is
using the default dpkg installs of php4-mysql and mysql-server-4.1
This same call and associated code works properly on existing Windows
and Linux systems (both with older versions of PHP & MySQL). The
primary difference that I can see is those systems are using API
3.23.49.
I'm barely a linux novice (much less intermediate level), so I'm not
sure how to go about changing the API version. Any help would be
appreciated.
