When trying to connect to a db with php4, the result is 'Resource id #1' (and #2 etc. on subsequent calls) instead of an integer.

The call was:
echo mysql_connect("localhost",$wwwuser,$wwwpass)
Changing any fields dos not help at all (I think I tried every possible variant during the last 12 hours). mysql_pconnect produces the same error, btw.

*The problem is eliminated by switching back to php3!*

I installed the latest mysql from source and from rpm, it did not help. However, I saw similar problems when searching dejanews.com, but related to other mysql calls. Obviously, other people are at least able to connect to a database before the problem arises.

I don't really understand what is the problem? 
Of course it echoes "Resource id #1" when you echo it. It should be stored in a variable
which is then used with the other mysql-functions.

See http://www.php.net/manual/function.mysql-connect.php for example how to use it.
