 New Comment:

That really isn't what return does because it's not a conditional.  Similar 
behaviour can be achieved by using: 

return (mysql_connect($blah) !== false) ? true : false;

Description:
------------
I wish "return doh" was treated like an expression when though this expression will never
be computable.

The reason is that I want to write this:

mysql_connect(blah) or return false;

Just like I do with die etc.
