mysqli_real_connect
Opens a connection to a mysql server
(PHP 5)
bool mysqli_real_connect ( mysqli link [, string host [, string username [, string passwd [, string dbname [, int port [, string socket [, int flags]]]]]]] )
Procedural style
Object oriented style (method)
mysqli {
bool real_connect(string host,
string username,
string passwd,
string dbname,
int port,
string socket,
int flags);
}Establish a connection to a MySQL database engine.
This function differs from mysqli_connect():
mysqli_real_connect() needs a valid object which has to be created by function mysqli_init().
With function mysqli_options() you can set various options for connection.
There is a flags parameter.
Parameters
- link
Procedural style only: A link identifier returned by mysqli_connect() or mysqli_init()
- host
Can be either a host name or an IP address. Passing the
NULLvalue or the string "localhost" to this parameter, the local host is assumed. When possible, pipes will be used instead of the TCP/IP protocol.- username
The MySQL user name.
- passwd
If provided or
NULL, the MySQL server will attempt to authenticate the user against those user records which have no password only. This allows one username to be used with different permissions (depending on if a password as provided or not).- dbname
If provided will specify the default database to be used when performing queries.
- port
Specifies the port number to attempt to connect to the MySQL server.
- socket
Specifies the socket or named pipe that should be used.
Note:Specifying the socket parameter will not explicitly determine the type of connection to be used when connecting to the MySQL server. How the connection is made to the MySQL database is determined by the host parameter.
- flags
With the parameter flags you can set different connection options:
Table 191. Supported flags
Name Description MYSQLI_CLIENT_COMPRESSUse compression protocol MYSQLI_CLIENT_FOUND_ROWSreturn number of matched rows, not the number of affected rows MYSQLI_CLIENT_IGNORE_SPACEAllow spaces after function names. Makes all function names reserved words. MYSQLI_CLIENT_INTERACTIVEAllow interactive_timeoutseconds (instead ofwait_timeoutseconds) of inactivity before closing the connectionMYSQLI_CLIENT_SSLUse SSL (encryption) Note:For security reasons the
MULTI_STATEMENTflag is not supported in PHP. If you want to execute multiple queries use the mysqli_multi_query() function.
Examples
Example 1539. Object oriented style
<?php
/* create a connection object which is not connected */
$mysqli = mysqli_init();
/* set connection options */
$mysqli->options(MYSQLI_INIT_COMMAND, "SET AUTOCOMMIT=0");
$mysqli->options(MYSQLI_OPT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT, 5);
/* connect to server */
$mysqli->real_connect('localhost', 'my_user', 'my_password', 'world');
/* check connection */
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
exit();
}
printf ("Connection: %s\n.", $mysqli->host_info);
$mysqli->close();
?>Example 1540. Procedural style
<?php
/* create a connection object which is not connected */
$link = mysqli_init();
/* set connection options */
mysqli_options($link, MYSQLI_INIT_COMMAND, "SET AUTOCOMMIT=0");
mysqli_options($link, MYSQLI_OPT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT, 5);
/* connect to server */
mysqli_real_connect($link, 'localhost', 'my_user', 'my_password', 'world');
/* check connection */
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
exit();
}
printf ("Connection: %s\n.", mysqli_get_host_info($link));
mysqli_close($link);
?>The above example will output:
Connection: Localhost via UNIX socket
