The following is part of my PHP code
<?php

$linkid=mysql_connect("mysite.domain","name","passwd");
echo "link id: ".$linkid."<br>";     
if($linkid==false){
    echo "failed to connect to database";
    exit();
}
?>

The Result is:

link id: Resource id #1
failed to connect to database.

Why $linkid echos "Resource id #1" and is also equal to
false value ??
I've checked the manual to see what type the 
mysql_connect() returns and it's "int".

What exactly the type of returned type of mysql_connect()
is ??
