PHP 4.0 Bug #5322: msql_connect not working

From: pete@byways.org Operating system: Linux 2.2.16/Redhat 6.2 PHP version: 4.0.1 PHP Bug Type: mSQL related Bug description: msql_connect not working The msql_connect function does not seem to be returning valid links; however, the msql_pconnect function works. When running this script: $conn = msql_connect(); echo "After msql_connect, \$conn=$conn<br>"; msql_select_db("mydb", $conn); echo "After msql_select_db, \$conn=$conn<br>"; $res = msql_query("SELECT * FROM Collection", $conn); echo "rows: ".msql_NumRows($res)."<br>"; The output I get is this: After msql_connect, $conn=1 Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid mSQL-Link resource in xxx.html on line 23 After msql_select_db, $conn=1 Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid mSQL-Link resource in xxx.html on line 25 When running the same script, but replacing msql_connect with msql_pconnect, this is the output: After msql_connect, $conn=Resource id #3 After msql_select_db, $conn=Resource id #3 rows: 287 Note that in the first case, echoing the mSQL link identifier resulted in an integer, while the second time a string was displayed ("Resource id #3") PHP is running as a CGI under Roxen 2.0. I get the same result when running as an Apache 1.3.12 module on the same system.
