The return value of mysqli_connect() is an object, not a resource.
Please read the documentation for mysqli more carefully

Description:
------------
get_resource_type() returns bool false on a valid resource handle.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$host = 'localhost';
$user = 'user';
$pass = 'pass';
$dbpn = 'database';
$connection = mysqli_connect ( $host, $user, $pass, $dbpn );
if ( ! $connection )
{
echo 'bad connection';
exit ();
}
var_dump ( get_resource_type ( $connection ) );
mysqli_close ( $connection );
?>
Expected result:
----------------
I expect...
string(unknown)
Because it seems that mysqli_() is not in the (List of Resource Types)
supported. But it would be nice if mysqli_() and the rest of the
database extensions that PHP supports were added to the (List of
Resource Types) supported.
Actual result:
--------------
I get..
bool(false)
[23-Mar-2009 15:07:18] PHP Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid
resource handle in X:\http\docs\test.php on line [17]
Which clearly states that $connection is not a valid resource, when it
really is!
