	      be used. See also MySQL: choosing an API guide and related FAQ for more information. Alternatives to this function include:

		     omysqli_get_server_info(3)

		     o PDO::getAttribute

       string mysql_get_server_info ([resource	$link_identifier = NULL])

		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
