maybe so, but it works nonetheless.............
if for example the username stated in the connection initialization was
wrong it will print an error like:
"Access denied for user: 'username@localhost' (Using password: YES)"
MI,
my code would look somethign like this:
$link = @mysql_pconnect("localhost", "test1", "test1");
// If connection failed...
if (!$link) {
// Inform user of error and quit
print "Couldn't connect to database server<br>\n";
print mysql_error();
exit;
}
