Bug description:mysql_error: "connection actively refused" when no database
info is supplied
Description:
------------
If no connection currently exists and mysql_query is run without specifying
connection info, mysql_error returns:
"No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused
it."
This is not true.
This is heinously deceptive:
⢠"target machine" indicates a database server.
⢠"actively refused" means a server RECEIVED the request AND DENIED it.
This leads one to believe invalid credentials have been supplied or that
the specified account is not configured (Host=) as expected.
The error message should be changed to reflect the fact that no database
connection (or connection information) exists.
(this is especially troublesome when working with PDO coupled with a
function since functions are only aware of the variables that are passed to
them)
Test script:
---------------
<?php
mysql_query("SELECT * FROM database.table;") or die(mysql_error());
?>
