Re: mysqli_query() returns NULL?

If you were to use the proper object form of it, you'd spot the mistake, as it will tell you that you are trying to perform an action on a non-object. It might be a bug, or the developers might not have cared figuring that if you threw it in an if(!...) it would validate as false anyways. But it.might be a bug or an oversight. It might actually be falling through some ifs and returning the result that was instantiated as null, I dunno...

Date: Fri, Jun 17, 2011 4:40 pm Hey everyone, After reading the documentation for mysqli_query(), I was lead to believe that on any error it would return false. However, through a stupid mistake, I discovered that when I specify an invalid value for the database link identifier (in my case, I accidentally passed an integer), instead of false I get a return value of NULL. Does anyone know why? Thanks! James -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
