Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=80529&edit=1 ID: 80529 Updated by: requinix@php.net Reported by: bugs dot php dot net at latter dot org Summary: $mysqli->connect_errno may not work Status: Not a bug Type: Documentation Problem Package: MySQLi related PHP Version: Irrelevant Assigned To: cmb Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: try { $mysqli = new mysqli('localhost', 'fake_user', 'my_password', 'my_db'); } catch (\Throwable $t) { echo $mysqli->connect_errno; } It's not a scope problem. It's a "if there was an exception thrown before/during the 'new mysqli' then the $mysqli variable will not be assigned" problem. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2020-12-17 19:20:37] bugs dot php dot net at latter dot org Definitely using the object.
