Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-08 17:53:49] mfischer@php.net You've been caught by 'Operator Precedence'. First, the evaluation of the '||' operator is done. Since you can successfully connect (and a resource is a logical true), the statement 'opa || opb' gives 'true' then this is assigned to $con. For what you want to do, you need to set parenthesis properly: ($con = mysql_pconnect($db_Hostname, $db_UserName, $db_Password) || die("Can't Connect to Database: ".mysql_error()); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-08 17:24:03] chang@digitalhighway.net Sorry forgot to mention, platform is Sparc. And the error also applies for mysql_connect. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-08 17:22:38] chang@digitalhighway.net $con = mysql_connect($db_Hostname, $db_UserName, $db_Password) || die("Can't Connect to Database: ".mysql_error()); print gettype($con); print $con; The connection is okay, no error is given. PHP generates an error if the username or password is incorrect. Variable $con supposed to be a link, but instead its a boolean with the value true(1). Just for info, other php scripts work fine in conjuction with mysql. but for this script I need to have seperate links, instead of de default last one. Compile options: --with-mysql ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-08 17:19:27] chang@digitalhighway.net $con = mysql_pconnect($db_Hostname, $db_UserName, $db_Password) || die("Can't Connect to Database: ".mysql_error()); print gettype($con); print $con; The connection is okay, no error is given.
