Description:
------------
The documentation at http://php.net/mysqli_connect reads:

passwd

    If provided or NULL, the MySQL server will attempt to authenticate the user against those user records which have no password only. This allows one username to be used with different permissions (depending on if a password as provided or not). 

It should read (asterisks for emphasis)

passwd

    If **not** provided or NULL, the MySQL server will attempt to authenticate the user against those user records which have no password only. This allows one username to be used with different permissions (depending on if a password as provided or not). 

as it otherwise implies that specifying a password causes MySQL to only authenticate against passwordless accounts.

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
