ID: 25253 Updated by: georg@php.net Reported By: uhlar at fantomas dot sk -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: any PHP Version: 4.3.3 New Comment: If (mysql)user is not specified (NULL) the current (system) user will be assumed. Changing this to a default value would break BC.

But they do so only if they are calles withou any argument. Could be this enhanced to use default variables whenever NULL is used as value? e.g. mysql_connect("new.host.name", NULL, NULL, MYSQL_CLIENT_COMPRESS) would take mysql.default_user and mysql.default_password as username and password. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=25253&edit=1
