Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-09-21 00:48:32] thisgenericname at gmail dot com 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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=42721&edit=1
