LXIII. MySQL Functions

Введение

These functions allow you to access MySQL database servers. More information about MySQL can be found at http://www.mysql.com/.

Documentation for MySQL can be found at http://www.mysql.com/documentation/.

Требования

In order to have these functions available, you must compile PHP with MySQL support.

Установка

By using the --with-mysql[=DIR] configuration option you enable PHP to access MySQL databases. If you use this option without specifying the path to MySQL, PHP will use the built-in MySQL client libraries. With PHP 4 MySQL support is always enabled; if you don't specify the configure option, the bundled libraries are used. Users who run other applications that use MySQL (for example, running PHP 3 and PHP 4 as concurrent apache modules, or auth-mysql) should always specify the path to MySQL: --with-mysql=/path/to/mysql. This will force PHP to use the client libraries installed by MySQL, avoiding any conflicts.

Версия PHP для Windows-совместимых платформ имеет встроенную поддержку данного расширения. Это означает, что для использования данных функций не требуется загрузка никаких дополнительных расширений.

Внимание

Crashes and startup problems of PHP may be encountered when loading this extension in conjunction with the recode extension. See the recode extension for more information.

Настройка во время выполнения

Поведение этих функций находится в зависимости от установок в php.ini.

For further details and definition of the PHP_INI_* constants see ini_set().

Here is a short explanation of the configuration directives.

mysql.allow_persistent boolean

Whether to allow persistent connections to MySQL.

mysql.max_persistent integer

The maximum number of persistent MySQL connections per process.

mysql.max_links integer

The maximum number of MySQL connections per process, including persistent connections.

mysql.default_port string

The default TCP port number to use when connecting to the database server if no other port is specified. If no default is specified, the port will be obtained from the MYSQL_TCP_PORT environment variable, the mysql-tcp entry in /etc/services or the compile-time MYSQL_PORT constant, in that order. Win32 will only use the MYSQL_PORT constant.

mysql.default_socket string

The default socket name to use when connecting to a local database server if no other socket name is specified.

mysql.default_host string

The default server host to use when connecting to the database server if no other host is specified. Doesn't apply in safe mode.

mysql.default_user string

The default user name to use when connecting to the database server if no other name is specified. Doesn't apply in safe mode.

mysql.default_password string

The default password to use when connecting to the database server if no other password is specified. Doesn't apply in safe mode.

mysql.connect_timeout integer

Connect timeout in seconds. On Linux this timeout is also used for waiting for the first answer from the server.

Типы ресурсов

There are two resource types used in the MySQL module. The first one is the link identifier for a database connection, the second a resource which holds the result of a query.

Предопределенные константы

Перечисленные ниже константы определены данным расширением и могут быть доступны только в том случае, если PHP был собран с поддержкой этого расширения или же в том случае, если данное расширение подгружается во время выполнения.

Since PHP 4.3.0 it is possible to specify additional client flags for the mysql_connect() and mysql_pconnect() functions. The following constants are defined:

Таблица 2. MySQL client constants

constantdescription
MYSQL_CLIENT_COMPRESSuse compression protocol
MYSQL_CLIENT_IGNORE_SPACEAllow space after function names
MYSQL_CLIENT_INTERACTIVEAllow interactive_timeout seconds (instead of wait_timeout) of inactivity before closing the connection.

The function mysql_fetch_array() uses a constant for the different types of result arrays. The following constants are defined:

Таблица 3. MySQL fetch constants

constantdescription
MYSQL_ASSOC Columns are returned into the array having the fieldname as the array index.
MYSQL_BOTH Columns are returned into the array having both a numerical index and the fieldname as the array index.
MYSQL_NUM Columns are returned into the array having a numerical index to the fields. This index starts with 0, the first field in the result.

Примеры

This simple example shows how to connect, execute a query, print resulting rows and disconnect from a MySQL database.

Пример 1. MySQL extension overview example

<?php
    /* Connecting, selecting database */
    $link = mysql_connect("mysql_host", "mysql_user", "mysql_password")
        or die("Could not connect");
    print "Connected successfully";
    mysql_select_db("my_database") or die("Could not select database");

    /* Performing SQL query */
    $query = "SELECT * FROM my_table";
    $result = mysql_query($query) or die("Query failed");

    /* Printing results in HTML */
    print "<table>\n";
    while ($line = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
        print "\t<tr>\n";
        foreach ($line as $col_value) {
            print "\t\t<td>$col_value</td>\n";
        }
        print "\t</tr>\n";
    }
    print "</table>\n";

    /* Free resultset */
    mysql_free_result($result);

    /* Closing connection */
    mysql_close($link);
?>
