mySQL Close.

Ok this is weird.... something so simple has become a fairly large and annoying issue.

 

So I started getting the error:

 

Warning: mysql_close(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /hermes/web03/b36/pow/IM/roster2/test.php on line 6

 

I made a simple test page to see if it was anything in the scripts but nothing.

 

the page I load is:

 

<?php
$connection = mysql_connect("","","") or die(mysql_error());
$connection = mysql_select_db("") or die(mysql_error());
echo $connection;

mysql_close($connection);
?>

 

The first echo returns 1 while the next line is the one above... how is something so easy and simple going so wrong?

You are overwriting $connection by assigning it the true/false that mysql_select_db() returns. Only mysql_connect() returns a connection link.

Thank you.
