On FALSE, it also sends E_NOTICE which is not (IMO) appropriate, since function returns TRUE/FALSE on success/failure. Expected result: ---------------- I expect mysqli::ping() just to return TRUE/FALSE. When I use $variable without initialisation, I get E_NOTICE and so if I want to avoid getting E_NOTICE, I use isset($variable) before using $variable itself. I expected same behaviour from mysqli::ping() - just let me know if connection is dead or alive and do not mess with my logs too, it is redundant without advantage. Actual result: -------------- mysqli::ping() returns TRUE/FALSE, but it also sends E_NOTICE "mysqli::ping(): send of 5 bytes failed with errno=32 Broken pipe". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67637&edit=1
