Description:
The following appears in the "Return Values" section

  Note that in most cases one instead call mysql_next_result()
  to test whether more results exist and initiate the next result
  set if it existed.

This doesn't parse.

How to repeat:
Browse.

Suggested fix:
I think I'd just say

   Note that in most cases one can instead call mysql_next_result()
   to test whether more results exist.

This produces something grammatically correct.  Folks can consult
mysql_next_result() if they want to know what other functions it
performs.  IMHO, the text that follows ("and initiate...") is
more confusing than helpful (e.g., what is the referent of "it"?).
