php.net says ::
mysqli_real_connect() needs a valid object which has to be created by function mysqli_init().
it means
if you do connection with mysqli_connect() , you do not need to intialize it with mysqli_init()
$link = mysqli_connect("127.0.0.1", "my_user", "my_password", "my_db");
if (!$link) {
echo "we re not connected";
}
but mysqli_real_connect uses object to initialize it , which return by mysqli_init
$link = mysqli_init();
if (!mysqli_real_connect($link, 'localhost', 'my_user', 'my_password', 'my_db')) {
die('Connect Error (' . mysqli_connect_errno() . ') '
. mysqli_connect_error());
}
