note 103689 added to function.mysql-error

One annoying feature of mysql_error() is its inability to return connection errors when you have multiple connections. e.g.: <?php $db1 = mysql_connect($a, $b, $c); // valid details $result = mysql_query("SELECT 'Hello World'"); $db2 = mysql_connect($d, $e, $f); // invalid details if (!$db2) { echo mysql_error(); // if you don't supply any link identifier it will use the last valid one, in this case $db1, which returns blank. echo mysql_error($db2); // errors because $db2 is a boolean with the value FALSE, not a link identifier. } ?> ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 77.89.163.162 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-error.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/103689 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103689/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103689/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103689/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103689/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103689/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103689/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103689 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/103689 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
