If you were to use the proper object form of it, you'd spot the mistake, as it will tell you that you are trying to perform an action on a non-object.
It might be a bug, or the developers might not have cared figuring that if you threw it in an if(!...) it would validate as false anyways. But it.might be a bug or an oversight. It might actually be falling through some ifs and returning the result that was instantiated as null, I dunno...

Date: Fri, Jun 17, 2011 4:40 pm Hey everyone, After reading the documentation for mysqli_query(), I was lead to believe that on any error it would return false. However, through a stupid mistake, I discovered that when I specify an invalid value for the database link identifier (in my case, I accidentally passed an integer), instead of false I get a return value of NULL. Does anyone know why? Thanks! James -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
