mysql_close - Close MySQL connection

SYNOPSIS

       Warning

	      This  extension  is deprecated as of PHP 5.5.0, and will be removed in the future. Instead, the MySQLi or PDO_MySQL extension should
	      be used. See also MySQL: choosing an API guide and related FAQ for more information. Alternatives to this function include:

		     omysqli_close(3)

		     oPDO: Assign the value of
		       NULL to the PDO object

       bool mysql_close ([resource  $link_identifier = NULL])

DESCRIPTION

       mysql_close(3) closes the non-persistent connection to  the  MySQL  server  that's  associated  with  the  specified  link  identifier.	If
       $link_identifier isn't specified, the last opened link is used.

	Using  mysql_close(3) isn't usually necessary, as non-persistent open links are automatically closed at the end of the script's execution.
       See also freeing resources.

	      o $
		link_identifier -The MySQL connection. If the link identifier is not specified,  the  last  link  opened  by  mysql_connect(3)	is
		assumed. If no connection is found or established, an E_WARNING level error is generated.

	Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

       Example #1

	      mysql_close(3) example

	      <?php
	      $link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');
	      if (!$link) {
		  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
	      }
	      echo 'Connected successfully';
	      mysql_close($link);
	      ?>

	      The above example will output:

	      Connected successfully

       Note

	      mysql_close(3) will not close persistent links created by mysql_pconnect(3).

mysql_create_db - Create a MySQL database

SYNOPSIS

       Warning

	      This  function  was deprecated in PHP 4.3.0, and will be removed in the future, along with the entirety of the original MySQL exten-
	      sion. Instead, the MySQLi or PDO_MySQL extension should be used. See also MySQL: choosing an API guide  and  related  FAQ  for  more
	      information. Alternatives to this function include:

		     omysqli_query(3)

		     o PDO::query

       bool mysql_create_db (string  $database_name, [resource	$link_identifier = NULL])

DESCRIPTION

       mysql_create_db(3) attempts to create a new database on the server associated with the specified link identifier.

	      o $database_name
		- The name of the database being created.

	      o $
		link_identifier  -The  MySQL  connection.  If  the  link  identifier is not specified, the last link opened by mysql_connect(3) is
		assumed. If no such link is found, it will try to create one as if mysql_connect(3) was called with no arguments. If no connection
		is found or established, an E_WARNING level error is generated.

	Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

       Example #1

	      mysql_create_db(3) alternative example

	       The  function  mysql_create_db(3)  is  deprecated. It is preferable to use mysql_query(3) to issue an sql CREATE DATABASE statement
	      instead.

	      <?php
	      $link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');
	      if (!$link) {
		  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
	      }

	      $sql = 'CREATE DATABASE my_db';
	      if (mysql_query($sql, $link)) {
		  echo "Database my_db created successfully
";
	      } else {
		  echo 'Error creating database: ' . mysql_error() . "
";
	      }
	      ?>

	      The above example will output something similar to:

	      Database my_db created successfully

       Note

	       For backward compatibility, the following deprecated alias may be used: mysql_createdb(3)

       Note

	       This function will not be available if the MySQL extension was built against a MySQL 4.x client library.

       mysql_query(3), mysql_select_db(3).
