mysql_get_server_info — Get MySQL server info
Retrieves the MySQL server version.
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() was called with no arguments. If by chance no connection is found or established, an E_WARNING level warning 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
