PHP static function does not die

Question

class mySql {
 static function query($q){
  return mysql_query($q)or die(mysql_error());
 }
}

class MySql

echo mySql::query('SELECT * FROM unknown_table');

it must die and display the mysql error but its not.

do static functions really go that way?

Answer 1

Works for me .

(basically for the die() to work, the mysql_query() needs to return falsy - putting false there lets me test your short circuit evaluation ).

Show me your code relevant to your problem, please.

Does it work with a valid query?

Answer 2

guess im just stupid

my load_class() function does not load the class properly i forgot to configure my Configuration file and set the base uri to the current folder lol maybe i should delete this one. oh stupidity /facepalm

sorry for bothering everyone xD
