mysql_ping (PHP 4 >= 4.3.0, PHP 5) mysql_ping -- Ping a server connection or reconnect if there is no connection Descriptionbool mysql_ping ( [resource link_identifier] )
Checks whether or not the connection to
the server is working. If it has gone down, an automatic reconnection is
attempted. This function can be used by scripts that remain idle for a
long while, to check whether or not the server has closed the connection
and reconnect if necessary.
Parameters
-
link_identifier
The MySQL connection. If the
link identifier is not specified, the last link opened by
mysql_connect() is assumed. If no such link is found, it
will try to create one as if mysql_connect() was called
with no arguments. If by chance no connection is found or established, an
E_WARNING level warning is generated.
Return Values
Returns TRUE if the connection to the server MySQL server is working,
otherwise FALSE.
Examples
Example 1. A mysql_ping() example <?php
set_time_limit(0);
$conn = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysqluser', 'mypass');
$db = mysql_select_db('mydb');
/* Assuming this query will take a long time */
$result = mysql_query($sql);
if (!$result) {
echo 'Query #1 failed, exiting.';
exit;
}
/* Make sure the connection is still alive, if not, try to reconnect */
if (!mysql_ping($conn)) {
echo 'Lost connection, exiting after query #1';
exit;
}
mysql_free_result($result);
/* So the connection is still alive, let's run another query */
$result2 = mysql_query($sql2);
?> |
