 New Comment:

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

The documentation states

  If the parameters given to a function are not what it
  expects, such as passing an array where a string is
  expected, the return value of the function is undefined.
  In this case it will likely return NULL but this is just
  a convention, and cannot be relied upon. 
  http://www.php.net/manual/en/functions.internal.php

You are passing "false" to a function expecting a "mysql result
resource"

Description:
------------
Calling mysql_fetch_array() with an empty/errorneous result set returns
NULL, not 
FALSE. This is a behavioral change from 5.2.10.

Documentation says: "Returns an array of strings that corresponds to the
fetched 
row, or FALSE if there are no more rows."


Test script:
---------------
$r = @mysql_query( 'This is a broken query' );
$f = @mysql_fetch_array( $r );
print var_dump( $f );


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

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