#42721 [NEW]: mysqli_connect documentation typo

From: thisgenericname at gmail dot com Operating system: Irrelevant PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: mysqli_connect documentation typo Description: ------------ The documentation at http://php.net/mysqli_connect reads: passwd If provided or NULL, the MySQL server will attempt to authenticate the user against those user records which have no password only. This allows one username to be used with different permissions (depending on if a password as provided or not). It should read (asterisks for emphasis) passwd If **not** provided or NULL, the MySQL server will attempt to authenticate the user against those user records which have no password only. This allows one username to be used with different permissions (depending on if a password as provided or not). as it otherwise implies that specifying a password causes MySQL to only authenticate against passwordless accounts. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=42721&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42721&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42721&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42721&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42721&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42721&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42721&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42721&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42721&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42721&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42721&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42721&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42721&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42721&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42721&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42721&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42721&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42721&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42721&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42721&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42721&r=mysqlcfg
