"Returns ... that corresponds to the fetched row and moves the internal

Returning false is already mentioned.

Description:
------------
my knowledge in the exact manner of these functions is lacking.

however, in the documentation, all of the mysql_fetch_* functions fail
to mention that a call to it moves the internal data pointer ahead once
and returns false if the internal pointer is pointing to a nonexistent
row. this is what allows while($row = mysql_fetch_*($res)) to work.

thank you,
rob
