Description:
------------
I have notice a strange beaviour with the pg_connection_status function.

See this code :


Reproduce code:
---------------


echo pg_connection_status (false) == PGSQL_CONNECTION_OK ? 'strange' : 'ok';

Expected result:
----------------

I think I should see 'ok' on the screen. false is not a valid Postgres connection.

Actual result:
--------------

However 'strange' is written on the screen.

It may not be a bug. But this behaviour should be written in the doc.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

Your code is wrong, use ===, see below why:

marcus@zaphod /usr/src/php5 $ php -r \'var_dump(pg_connection_status(false));\'
bool(false)
marcus@zaphod /usr/src/php5 $ php -r \'var_dump(PGSQL_CONNECTION_OK);\'
int(0)
