mysql_get_server_info — Get MySQL server info
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:
$link_identifier = NULL
] )Retrieves the MySQL server version.
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() was called
with no arguments. If no connection is found or established, an
E_WARNING level error is generated.
Returns the MySQL server version on success or FALSE on failure.
Example #1 mysql_get_server_info() example
<?php
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');
if (!$link) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
printf("MySQL server version: %s\n", mysql_get_server_info());
?>
The above example will output something similar to:
MySQL server version: 4.0.1-alpha
