Although this is not a php list...
mysql_connect() returns TRUE on success and FALSE on
failuer, so testing $link like "if($link)" means it
did connect.
your script should read:
$link=mysql_connect("localhost")
// the !(bang as it is called) means NOT
// so !TRUE == FALSE
if(!$link) {
printf("Could not connect to mysql server: %s",mysql_error());
} else {
//connection is good
}
or, better yet:
if(!$link=mysql_connect("localhost")) {
printf("Could not connect:\n%s :
%s\n",mysql_errno(),mysql_error());
} else {
//connection is good
}
hope it helps.
