note 105799 added to function.mysql-connect

I'm a huge fan of the '!' symbol however when connecting to a SQL server i prefer using a comparison operator as demo'd below... <?php $link_id = mysql_connect(); if($link_id < ' ') { die('Could not connect to MySQL Server: '.mysql_error()); } echo 'Connected to MySQL Server'; ?> too lazy to explain, but reverse the comparion operator for a full explanation... :) ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 109.149.247.181 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-connect.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/105799 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105799/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105799/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105799/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105799/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105799/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105799/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105799 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/105799 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
