I keep Google searching my code to find the word Deprecated used more often than not. The following PHP code is used to log into the database.
[php]
function mysql_logon()
{
$mysql_link = @mysql_connect(kDB_HOST, kDB_USER, kDB_PASS) OR die (kServerError);
@mysql_select_db(kDB_NAME, $mysql_link) OR die (kDBError);
return $mysql_link;
}
[/php]
When I step through NetBeans, the $mysql_link is returning resource id=‘7’ type=‘mysql link’. What does this indicate? Is this a successful return?
You should change to use a newer library (mysqli or pdo), pdo came out 10 years ago, so it’s about time.
I surprised the calls are not PDO.
My goal right now is simply to get the test environment to work. Do you know where I can look up the return values?
Yes. It is a resource meant to be used. If it was unsuccessful you would get a die (kServerError). Also, switch to mysqli now before you code any more. It’s almost identical procedurally, or learn PDO.

I want to switch. The software in this system is lackluster. I am simply trying to get through it day-by-day.
My goal at the moment is trying to get a development system working.
