PHP Bug Type: MySQLi related
Bug description: Failed Connect Does Not Return FALSE
Description:
------------
When a mysqli connection fails, the returned value is an empty mysqli
object and not a bool(FALSE), this means any tests on the connection will
not work, eg: if ($conn) { ... }
When the documentation: http://ca.php.net/manual/en/mysqli.connect.php
States:
"Return Values
Returns a object which represents the connection to a MySQL Server or
FALSE if the connection failed."
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$connection = new mysqli('localhost', 'badinfo', 'badinfo', 'badinfo');
var_dump($connection);
?>
Expected result:
----------------
bool(FALSE)
Actual result:
--------------
object(mysqli)#1 (0) { }
