Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php The operator "or" is a boolean operator therefore you're returning a boolean result of that operation. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-08-12 14:57:26] adam at omega dot org dot uk Description: ------------ There is some unusual behaviour in the attached function. When a new Database object is created, and a query called by: $result = $this->db_connection->query($valid_sql_query); Different results will occur, depending on the layout of the Database::query method. PHP version: 5.2.2 I do not own the webserver, and I doubt that they will be willing to upgrade to an unstable version to test it. Reproduce code: --------------- Works: class Database{ function query($_sql) { $q = mysql_query($_sql)or die("Invalid Query: $_sql <br />" . mysql_error()); return $q; } } --- Returns true: class Database{ function query($_sql) { return mysql_query($_sql) or die("Invalid Query: $_sql <br />" . mysql_error()); } } --- Works: class Database{ function query($_sql) { return mysql_query($_sql); } } Expected result: ---------------- In all cases, a mysql resource should be returned. Actual result: -------------- In cases 1 and 3 a mysql result is returned. In case 2, the function simply returns true. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=42278&edit=1
