#29057 [Opn->Bgs]: PHP doesn't generate a warning on mysql_select_db failure

ID: 29057 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: johnfivealive at hotmail dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: MySQL related Operating System: Fedora Core 2 PHP Version: 5.0.0RC3 New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php If it returns false, you can much more easily check for it without having to obfucsicate the functioncall with the shut-up operator (@). No way this is going to be changed. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-07-08 05:17:18] johnfivealive at hotmail dot com Description: ------------ whenever mysql_select_db returns false PHP should output a warning message to the browser if php is configured to do so. As it stands now when mysql_select_db fails, PHP generates no warning on failure. This is not consistent with other PHP mysql_* functions. Reproduce code: --------------- Make sure all warnings are enabled in php.ini psuedo code: $connection = mysql_connect( "host", "user", "pass" ); mysql_select_db( "some non existent DB", $connection ); mysql_select_db should return false, but no warning is generated Expected result: ---------------- a warning should be outputed to the browser Actual result: -------------- function returns correctly, but no warning is outputted ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=29057&edit=1
