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) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=47935&edit=1
