mysql_ping
Ping a server connection or reconnect if there is no connection
This extension was deprecated in PHP 5.5.0, and it was removed in PHP 7.0.0. 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:
mysqli_ping
|
bool mysql_ping(resource link_identifier= =NULL);
Checks whether or not the connection to the server is working. If it has gone down, an automatic reconnection is attempted. This function can be used by scripts that remain idle for a long while, to check whether or not the server has closed the connection and reconnect if necessary.
Automatic reconnection is disabled by default in versions of MySQL >= 5.0.3.
link_identifier
The 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
had been called with no arguments. If no connection is
found or established, an E_WARNING
level error is generated.
Returns true
if the connection to the
server MySQL server is working, otherwise
false
.

<?php set_time_limit(0); $conn = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysqluser', 'mypass'); $db = mysql_select_db('mydb'); /* Assuming this query will take a long time */ $result = mysql_query($sql); if (!$result) { echo 'Query #1 failed, exiting.'; exit; } /* Make sure the connection is still alive, if not, try to reconnect */ if (!mysql_ping($conn)) { echo 'Lost connection, exiting after query #1'; exit; } mysql_free_result($result); /* So the connection is still alive, let's run another query */ $result2 = mysql_query($sql2); ?>
