note 43868 deleted from function.mysql-connect by betz

Note Submitter: Guillaume Beaulieu ---- There's a stupid behavior with this function when you use a blank server argument. Something like print mysql_connect("","",""); will print 1. So if you plan of doing an application that can connect to anything the user enter, and wan't to be sure that the connection is properly set, this kind of check is usually the best thing to do: if ($link = mysql_connect($server, $user, $pass) and $server != "") { # I'm connected ! }
