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_get_host_info(3)
o PDO::getAttribute
string mysql_get_host_info ([resource $link_identifier = NULL])
DESCRIPTION
Describes the type of connection in use for the connection, including the server host name.
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 a string describing the type of MySQL connection in use for the connection or FALSE on failure.
Example #1
mysql_get_host_info(3) example
<?php
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');
if (!$link) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
printf("MySQL host info: %s
", mysql_get_host_info());
?>
The above example will output something similar to:
MySQL host info: Localhost via UNIX socket
mysql_get_client_info(3), mysql_get_proto_info(3), mysql_get_server_info(3).
