Hi all, I was experimenting with the differences between using a mysqli resource ie: "procedural": PHP: $handle=mysqli_connect('localhost','usr','pass','DBNAME');$result=mysqli_query($handle,'SELECT * FROM tablename); "OOP": PHP: $dbc= new MySQLi('localhost','usr','pass','DBNAME');$result=$dbc->query($handle,'SELECT * FROM tablename); nothing fancy here, but what really surprised me was this: "procedural": PHP: $handle=mysqli_connect('localhost','usr','pass','DBNAME');$result=$handle->query($handle,'SELECT * FROM tablename); "OOP": PHP: $dbc= new MySQLi('localhost','usr','pass','DBNAME');$result=$mysqli_query($dbc,'SELECT * FROM tablename); hopefully you can all see what i am getting at. Maybe you all knew this but I thought there was a distinct difference between a handle/resource (which i think are the same in php) and an Object and I'm pretty sure i read that mysqli_connect returns a resource. I double checked the manual, and mysql_connect returns a resource, whereas mysqli_connect returns an object. thought this was worth sharing
