note 52605 added to function.get-resource-type

its a good practise to first check that the variable is a resource before checking what type of resource. like this. function get_type($resource, $type_wanted) { if(is_resource($resource)){ $type = get_resource_type($resource); if($type == $type_wanted){ return true; }else{ return false; } }else{ return false; } } with this function you can check you have the right resource before using it. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.get-resource-type.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+52605 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52605&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52605&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52605&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52605&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52605&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+52605&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
