Thus not a bug. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-09-03 05:17:49] sr at brightlight dot ch More careful reading would have helped. I was too used with the result beeing of type resource and not object (which didnt make sense to me just for a link). Sorry for the inconvenience. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-09-03 05:00:26] sr at brightlight dot ch I'd also like to point out that in the mysqli documentation there is a lot of talk about using procedural style with a link-resource. There is no way to actually retrieve the link- resource. At least none is given in the manual. There is no property, mysqli_connect doesnt return one and there is no documented method for it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-09-02 21:32:38] sr at brightlight dot ch Description: ------------ Quote from http://php.benscom.com/manual/en/function.mysqli- connect.php: Example 2. Procedural style <?php $link = mysqli_connect("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world"); /* check connection */ if (!$link) { printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error()); exit(); } ... ?> This leads to the wrong assumption mysqli_connect would return a link resource which it doesnt. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=34352&edit=1
