     The <function>mysqli_connect_error</function> function is identical to the corresponding
     <function>mysqli_connect_errno</function> function in every way, except instead of returning
     an integer error code the <function>mysqli_connect_error</function> function will return
     a string representation of the last error to occur for the last 
     <function>mysqli_connect</function> call.
     If no error has occured, this function will return an empty string.
