Re: Is this a mysql_connect() bug?

Thanks for the error handling code. I think PHP still has a basic problem. If mysql sever connection times out because wrong username or password was used, then mysql_connect() should return FALSE. But this is not the case, why? Is it possible that mysql_connect() could not read the "connection failed" message from mysql server?
