Bug description:  mysql_connect( false, false, false ) return a resource

Description:
------------
Hi

If you try to connect to a database with mysql_connect( false, false,
false ), the connection fails, but the command still generates a resource.
I think that false would be a more accurate response since it can not
stablish a real connection.

My php version is 5.2.8 but i couldn't choose it in the menu and I can't
upgrade now.

Reproduce code:
---------------
var_dump( mysql_connect( false, false, false ) );

Expected result:
----------------
boolean false

Actual result:
--------------
resource(25, mysql link)
