Description:
------------
mysql_connect: example 1:
<?php
$link = mysql_connect("localhost", "mysql_user", "mysql_password")
or die("Could not connect: " . mysql_error());
print ("Connected successfully");
mysql_close($link);
?>
mysql_error() will not give a reason why the connect failed, according
to:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=24689
php4 will never give that message but php5 will. I havn't tested to see
if this is true for php5.
An alternative is to use $php_errormsg, but that can only used if
php_ini.track_errors is set.
