No, the mSQL API isn't too bright about multiple connections. >Ok, but since the documentation says that it returns the last error message >returned by the backend, IMHO it would be logic that it would return the >last error even if the respective connection was closed. Well, since PHP doesn't store the error message but MySQL, the error text is fetched on-demand from the MySQL server. If the link is closed before that, it's impossible to fetch that text. >BTW, if by any chance you have more than one connection, which one it >fetches the error from if you don't pass any link number? Just about any function in the MySQL API takes an optional link number, to allow for multiple links. If you don't specify that link, the most recently opened link is used.
