[SOLVED] (mysql_connect_errno()) not recognised

[Maracles]

I am learning mysql at the comment and in the tutorial I am using I am taught to use the function (mysql_connect_errno()) to check for problems with the connection between page and database. This function however does not appear to be recognised, mysql_error is however. I cannot find any official documentation on (mysql_connect_errno()), am I missing something?

Google helped here

 

There is no mysql_connect_errno function.

 

what you need is mysql_errno().

Sorry, I noticed a typo in my above post. The function you found on Google is actually tthe function which I am using now (which I did find in Google!).

 

However in the book, and the test source code that came on the accompanying CD, it actually uses (mysqli_connect_errno()), this is why I was getting confused? Is the book therefore mistaken?

[mattal999]

It could just be a user defined function to do some custom error checking. Have a look back through the book to see if it is defined at any time.

 

EDIT: Does the book use mysqli_connect_errno?

[PFMaBiSmAd]

mysqli_connect_error is part of the mysqli extension.

Thank you for that. That kind of makes more sense, the book refers to object-orientated and procedural code and attempts to push the object orientated approach which I find slightly more difficult to grasp.

 

I think me trying to use one and the book teach the other is a little confusing for me!
