mysqli::ping
mysqli::ping
mysqli_ping
(PHP 5, PHP 7)
mysqli::ping -- mysqli_ping — Pings a server connection, or tries to reconnect if the connection has gone down
Description
Object oriented style
bool mysqli::ping ( void )
Procedural style
bool mysqli_ping ( mysqli $link )
Checks whether the connection to the server is working. If it has gone down and global option mysqli.reconnect is enabled, an automatic reconnection is attempted.
Note: The php.ini setting mysqli.reconnect is ignored by the mysqlnd driver, so automatic reconnection is never attempted.
This function can be used by clients that remain idle for a long while, to check whether the server has closed the connection and reconnect if necessary.
Parameters
-
link -
Procedural style only: A link identifier returned by mysqli_connect() or mysqli_init()
Return Values
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
