note 116667 added to mysqli.set-charset

Says: Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure. Really? So, if you trying something like this, think again just because $result === NULL. <?php $result = @mysqli_set_charset(AN INVALID LINK, "utf8"); if ($result === false) { throw new Exception("..."); } var_dump($result); // NULL ?> $ php -v "PHP 5.5.9-1ubuntu4.5 (cli) (built: Oct 29 2014 11:59:10) " ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 37.154.163.96 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli.set-charset.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/116667 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116667/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116667/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116667/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116667/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116667/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116667/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116667 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/116667 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
