You cannot pass $link2 as a parameter to mysql_error becuase upon a failed connection, $link2 is false. How do you get the errno/error? Reproduce code: --------------- Scenario 1: $link1 = @mysql_connect("localhost","user","pass"); $link2 = @mysql_connect("blah","user","pass") or die("error: " . mysql_errno() . " -- " . mysql_error()); Scenario 2: //$link1 = @mysql_connect("localhost","user","pass"); $link2 = @mysql_connect("blah","user","pass") or die("error: " . mysql_errno() . " -- " . mysql_error()); Expected result: ---------------- Scenario 1: error: 2005 -- Lost connection to MySQL server during query Scenario 2: error: 2005 -- Lost connection to MySQL server during query Actual result: -------------- Scenario 1: error: 0 -- Scenario 2: error: 2005 -- Lost connection to MySQL server during query ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=32798&edit=1
