mysql_get_host_info — Get MySQL host info
This extension was deprecated in PHP 5.5.0, and it was removed in PHP 7.0.0. Instead, the MySQLi or PDO_MySQL extension should be used. See also MySQL: choosing an API guide. Alternatives to this function include:
attribute as PDO::ATTR_CONNECTION_STATUS
Describes the type of connection in use for the connection, including the server host name.
link_identifierThe 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() had been 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() example
<?php
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');
if (!$link) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
printf("MySQL host info: %s\n", mysql_get_host_info());
?>The above example will output something similar to:
MySQL host info: Localhost via UNIX socket
