for something that "CAN'T" return true, how is my code and results possibly returning true? :-) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-03-22 23:20:28] [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://php.net/manual/en/language.operators.php#language.operators.precedence ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-03-22 23:13:32] [EMAIL PROTECTED] You must be doing something terribly wrong, because oci_connect() CAN'T return true. It can return either false or valid connection. And I'm definitely not able to reproduce it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-03-22 23:04:57] jjackson at medai dot com Description: ------------ The PHP documentation has led me to believe that "oci_connect() returns a connection identifier needed for most other OCI calls" (verbatim from the docs). For the sake of simplicity in this example, I just want to connect then close the connection. However, my call to oci_close() doesn't like what oci_connect() returned.....thinking it's a boolean value instead of the "resource" as shown at: http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.oci-connect.php I know it's actually talking to the server because it gives me a logon failure when I use an invalid username/password. Reproduce code: --------------- #!/usr/local/bin/php <? $conn = oci_connect('username', 'password', '//server:1521/dbname') || die("Could not connect to Oracle database"); var_dump($conn); oci_close($conn); ?> Expected result: ---------------- to not get the warning I am seeing. Actual result: -------------- bool(true) Warning: oci_close() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /my/problem/script on line 5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=36827&edit=1
