MySQL

&reftitle.intro; These functions allow you to access MySQL database servers. More information about MySQL can be found at &url.mysql;. Documentation for MySQL can be found at &url.mysql.docs;.

&reftitle.required; In order to have these functions available, you must compile PHP with MySQL support.

&reference.mysql.configure; &reference.mysql.ini;

&reftitle.resources; There are two resource types used in the MySQL module. The first one is the link identifier for a database connection, the second a resource which holds the result of a query.

&reference.mysql.constants;

&reftitle.notes; Most MySQL functions accept link_identifier as the last optional parameter. If it is not provided, last opened connection is used. If it doesn't exist, connection is tried to establish with default parameters defined in &php.ini;. If it is not successful, functions return &false;.

&reftitle.examples; This simple example shows how to connect, execute a query, print resulting rows and disconnect from a MySQL database. \n"; while ($line = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) { echo "\t\n"; foreach ($line as $col_value) { echo "\t\t$col_value\n"; } echo "\t\n"; } echo "\n"; // Free resultset mysql_free_result($result); // Closing connection mysql_close($link); ?> ]]>
