Bug description:  MySQLI OO does not populate connect_error property on failed connect

Description:
------------
The documentation at:

http://us.php.net/manual/en/mysqli.connect.php

Provides an example for the OO method of constructing a MySQLI instance
and checking for error.

However, when testing this example and forcing an error the output is not
as the documentation describes (which as documented is the way I would
expect the OO library to behave.)


I first noticed this behavior on a PHP 5.2.3 install on my Centos server.
I then tried the same thing on a Debian box on 5.2.3 and received the same
unexpected behavior.


I then downloaded and compiled PHP 5.2.6 on my Centos box and still
received the unexpected behavior.

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

/* Force an error -> 3307 is not where mysql is listening */
$mysqli = new mysqli("127.0.0.1:3307", "my_user", "my_password",
"world");

/* Check for error: This should return true and enter the if block */
if ($mysqli->connect_error) {
    printf("Connect failed: %s\n", $mysqli->connect_error);
    exit();
}

printf("Host information: %s\n", $mysqli->host_info);

/* close connection */
$mysqli->close();
?>

Expected result:
----------------
Connect failed: Unknown MySQL server host '127.0.0.1:3307'

Actual result:
--------------
Warning: mysqli::mysqli(): (HY000/2005): Unknown MySQL server host
'127.0.0.1:3307' (3) in /srv/php/projects/test/src/test.php on line 4

Warning: main(): Couldn't fetch mysqli in
/srv/php/projects/test/src/test.php on line 7

Warning: main(): Couldn't fetch mysqli in
/srv/php/projects/test/src/test.php on line 12
