var_dump() is function you are looking for.
var_export() exports variables to a parsaable strings, but resources
cannot be represented as strings due to their nature.

Description:
------------
A simple mysql_connect() returned NULL for this particular
configuration of PHP: 
--with-mysql=/usr/lib/mysql
--with-mysql-sock=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
--with-mysqli=/usr/bin/mysql_config
--with-pdo-mysql=/usr

When the script is ran with wrong login credentials, mysql_connect()
returns false as documented. However, when everything checks out no
errors are thrown and NULL is returned instead of a resource.

This is not documented behaviour as far as I know ;-)

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

error_reporting(E_STRICT);

$r = mysql_connect('localhost','user','pw');

var_export($r);

?>


Expected result:
----------------
"Resource #1" (or something similar)

Actual result:
--------------
"NULL"

A strace on the process returns the following:
...

close(0)                                = 0

An ldd on the php cli:
...
   libmysqlclient.so.15 => /usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.15
