mysql_error is not set when mysql_connect fails, because there is no actual mysql resource to get the error message from.
yes, there is no mysql resource at this moment. just don't specify it and mysql_error() will tell something like "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (111)".
that is true, but in this case, neither $php_errmsg nor mysql_error() return anything. i print them both out when the connect fails and they are both just blank.
