PHP Bug Type: MySQL related
Bug description: Two error messages returned for $new and $flag argument in
mysql_connect()
Description:
------------
In the latest snapshot of PHP (this behaviour is *not* in PHP 5.2.5) there
appears to be a stricter check on what can be passed as the $new and $flag
argument in mysql_connect. If the wrong type of argument is passed then two
error messages are returned. The first says that the parameter should be
long, the second is a warning that the there is the wrong parameter count
in mysql_connect(). I believe that this second error message is a bug as a)
it contradicts the previous error message and b) it does not say what the
correct parameter count is as it usually does with this type of error
message.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$new = '';
$flag = 'string';
var_dump(mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', '', $new));
var_dump(mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', '', false, $flag));
?>
Expected result:
----------------
Warning: mysql_connect() expects parameter 4 to be long, string given in
...\mysql_connect.php on line 4
NULL
Warning: mysql_connect() expects parameter 5 to be long, string given in
...\mysql_connect.php on line 5
NULL
Actual result:
--------------
Warning: mysql_connect() expects parameter 4 to be long, string given in
C:\Josie\Workspace\Bugs\mysql\mysql_connect.php on line 4
Warning: Wrong parameter count for mysql_connect() in
C:\Josie\Workspace\Bugs\mysql\mysql_connect.php on line 4
NULL
Warning: mysql_connect() expects parameter 5 to be long, string given in
C:\Josie\Workspace\Bugs\mysql\mysql_connect.php on line 5
