mysql_connect

(PHP 4, PHP 5)

mysql_connect — Open a connection to a MySQL Server

Avviso

Questa enstensione deprecata da PHP 5.5.0, e sarà rimossa in futuro. Al suo posto, usare l'estensione MySQLi o PDO_MySQL. Vedere anche la guida MySQL: scelta dell'API e le FAQ relative per ulteriori informazioni. Le alternative a questa funzione includono:

Descrizione

mysql_connect(
    string $server = ini_get("mysql.default_host"),
    string $username = ini_get("mysql.default_user"),
    string $password = ini_get("mysql.default_password"),
    bool $new_link = false,
    int $client_flags = 0
): resource|false

Opens or reuses a connection to a MySQL server.

Elenco dei parametri

server

The MySQL server. It can also include a port number. e.g. "hostname:port" or a path to a local socket e.g. ":/path/to/socket" for the localhost.

If the PHP directive mysql.default_host is undefined (default), then the default value is 'localhost:3306'. In modalità sicura SQL, this parameter is ignored and value 'localhost:3306' is always used.

username

The username. Default value is defined by mysql.default_user. In modalità sicura SQL, this parameter is ignored and the name of the user that owns the server process is used.

password

The password. Default value is defined by mysql.default_password. In modalità sicura SQL, this parameter is ignored and empty password is used.

new_link

If a second call is made to mysql_connect() with the same arguments, no new link will be established, but instead, the link identifier of the already opened link will be returned. The new_link parameter modifies this behavior and makes mysql_connect() always open a new link, even if mysql_connect() was called before with the same parameters. In modalità sicura SQL, this parameter is ignored.

client_flags

The client_flags parameter can be a combination of the following constants: 128 (enable LOAD DATA LOCAL handling), MYSQL_CLIENT_SSL, MYSQL_CLIENT_COMPRESS, MYSQL_CLIENT_IGNORE_SPACE or MYSQL_CLIENT_INTERACTIVE. Read the section about MySQL client constants for further information. In modalità sicura SQL, this parameter is ignored.

Valori restituiti

Returns a MySQL link identifier on success o false in caso di fallimento.

Esempi

Example #1 mysql_connect() example

<?php
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');
if (!$link) {
    die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysql_close($link);
?>

Example #2 mysql_connect() example using hostname:port syntax

<?php
// we connect to example.com and port 3307
$link = mysql_connect('example.com:3307', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');
if (!$link) {
    die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysql_close($link);

// we connect to localhost at port 3307
$link = mysql_connect('127.0.0.1:3307', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');
if (!$link) {
    die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysql_close($link);
?>

Example #3 mysql_connect() example using ":/path/to/socket" syntax

<?php
// we connect to localhost and socket e.g. /tmp/mysql.sock

// variant 1: omit localhost
$link = mysql_connect(':/tmp/mysql', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');
if (!$link) {
    die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysql_close($link);


// variant 2: with localhost
$link = mysql_connect('localhost:/tmp/mysql.sock', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');
if (!$link) {
    die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysql_close($link);
?>

Note

Nota:
Whenever you specify "localhost" or "localhost:port" as server, the MySQL client library will override this and try to connect to a local socket (named pipe on Windows). If you want to use TCP/IP, use "127.0.0.1" instead of "localhost". If the MySQL client library tries to connect to the wrong local socket, the correct path should be set as mysql.default_host in php.ini and the server field left blank.

Nota:
The link to the server will be closed as soon as the execution of the script ends, unless it's closed earlier by explicitly calling mysql_close().

Nota:
Error "Can't create TCP/IP socket (10106)" usually means that the variables_order configure directive doesn't contain character E. On Windows, if the environment is not copied the SYSTEMROOT environment variable won't be available and PHP will have problems loading Winsock.

Be carefull here if you use utf8.

The file db.opt of your database should contain the following lines:
default-character-set=utf8
default-collation=utf8_general_ci

It means that your database is created to use the utf8 characterset.
One way to accomplish this is:
CREATE DATABASE my_database DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;

Then, after connecting to it from PHP you should use:
mysql_set_charset("UTF8", $connection);

If you don't do this, you will get ugly problems in case other software is reading and writing to the same database!!!!!!

Hopefully this saves someone some grief.

My dev computer is windows and runs wampserver.  I have frequent problems with PHP being unable to connect to MySQL after periods of extreme DB activity.

Long story short, it was because I was not running mysql via named-pipes and Windows was running out of available ports to serve PHP.  Apparently, on windows, you have 5000 ports to work with and once they are opened, they remain so for 120 seconds before being released.  This causes problems with mysql/networking because a new port is requested for each connection.

You can read more about the problem at:
(Link too long and had to be broken up)
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en
/can-not-connect-to-server.html#can-not-connect-to-server-on-windows
?>

Since mysql is on localhost, I can just enable named-pipes (which is how you should have mysql setup if you don't need networking) to get around the problem instead of the workaround listed on that page.
