mysqli::real_connect
mysqli_real_connect
Opens a connection to a mysql server
Description
Object-oriented style
public bool mysqli::real_connect(
stringnull $hostname
= null
,
stringnull $username
= null
,
#[\SensitiveParameter]stringnull $password
= null
,
stringnull $database
= null
,
intnull $port
= null
,
stringnull $socket
= null
,
int $flags
= 0
)
bool mysqli_real_connect(
mysqli $mysql
,
stringnull $hostname
= null
,
stringnull $username
= null
,
#[\SensitiveParameter]stringnull $password
= null
,

)
This function differs from mysqli_connect:
-
mysqli_real_connect needs a valid object which has
to be created by function mysqli_init.
-
With the mysqli_options function you can set various
options for connection.
-
There is a flags
parameter.
Parameters
-
mysql
-
Procedural style only: A mysqli object
returned by mysqli_connect or mysqli_init
-
hostname
-
Can be either a host name or an IP address. When passing null
, the value is retrieved from
mysqli.default_host.
When possible, pipes will be used instead of the TCP/IP protocol.
The TCP/IP protocol is used if a host name and port number are provided together e.g. localhost:3308
.
-
username
-
The MySQL username or null
to assume the username based on the
mysqli.default_user ini option.
-
password
-
The MySQL password or null
to assume the password based on the
mysqli.default_pw ini option.
-
database
-
The default database to be used when performing queries or null
.
-
port
-
The port number to attempt to connect to the MySQL server or null
to assume the port based on the
mysqli.default_port ini option.
-
socket
-
The socket or named pipe that should be used or null
to assume the socket based on the
mysqli.default_socket ini option.
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 hostname
parameter.
-
flags
-
With the parameter flags
you can set different
connection options:
Supported flags
Name |
Description |
MYSQLI_CLIENT_COMPRESS |
Use compression protocol |
MYSQLI_CLIENT_FOUND_ROWS |
return number of matched rows, not the number of affected rows |
MYSQLI_CLIENT_IGNORE_SPACE |
Allow spaces after function names. Makes all function names reserved words. |
MYSQLI_CLIENT_INTERACTIVE |
Allow interactive_timeout seconds (instead of
wait_timeout seconds) of inactivity before closing the connection
|
MYSQLI_CLIENT_SSL |
Use SSL (encryption) |
MYSQLI_CLIENT_SSL_DONT_VERIFY_SERVER_CERT |
Like MYSQLI_CLIENT_SSL , but disables validation of the provided
SSL certificate. This is only for installations using MySQL Native Driver and MySQL 5.6 or later.
|
Note:
For security reasons the MULTI_STATEMENT
flag is
not supported in PHP. If you want to execute multiple queries use the
mysqli_multi_query function.
Return Values
Returns true
on success or false
on failure.
Errors/Exceptions
If mysqli error reporting is enabled (MYSQLI_REPORT_ERROR
) and the requested operation fails,
a warning is generated. If, in addition, the mode is set to MYSQLI_REPORT_STRICT
,
a mysqli_sql_exception is thrown instead.
Examples
Example #1 mysqli::real_connect example
<?php
$mysqli = mysqli_init();
if (!$mysqli) {
die('mysqli_init failed');
}
if (!$mysqli->options(MYSQLI_INIT_COMMAND, 'SET AUTOCOMMIT = 0')) {
die('Setting MYSQLI_INIT_COMMAND failed');
}
if (!$mysqli->options(MYSQLI_OPT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT, 5)) {
die('Setting MYSQLI_OPT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT failed');
}
if (!$mysqli->real_connect('localhost', 'my_user', 'my_password', 'my_db')) {
die('Connect Error (' . mysqli_connect_errno() . ') '
. mysqli_connect_error());
}
echo 'Success... ' . $mysqli->host_info . "\n";
$mysqli->close();
?>
Object-oriented style when extending mysqli class
<?php
class foo_mysqli extends mysqli {
public function __construct($host, $user, $pass, $db) {
parent::__construct();
if (!parent::options(MYSQLI_INIT_COMMAND, 'SET AUTOCOMMIT = 0')) {
die('Setting MYSQLI_INIT_COMMAND failed');
}
if (!parent::options(MYSQLI_OPT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT, 5)) {
die('Setting MYSQLI_OPT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT failed');
}
if (!parent::real_connect($host, $user, $pass, $db)) {
die('Connect Error (' . mysqli_connect_errno() . ') '
. mysqli_connect_error());
}
}
}
$db = new foo_mysqli('localhost', 'my_user', 'my_password', 'my_db');
echo 'Success... ' . $db->host_info . "\n";
$db->close();
?>
<?php
$link = mysqli_init();
if (!$link) {
die('mysqli_init failed');
}
if (!mysqli_options($link, MYSQLI_INIT_COMMAND, 'SET AUTOCOMMIT = 0')) {
die('Setting MYSQLI_INIT_COMMAND failed');
}
if (!mysqli_options($link, MYSQLI_OPT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT, 5)) {
die('Setting MYSQLI_OPT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT failed');
}
if (!mysqli_real_connect($link, 'localhost', 'my_user', 'my_password', 'my_db')) {
die('Connect Error (' . mysqli_connect_errno() . ') '
. mysqli_connect_error());
}
echo 'Success... ' . mysqli_get_host_info($link) . "\n";
mysqli_close($link);
?>
The above examples will output:
Success... MySQL host info: localhost via TCP/IP
Notes
Note:
MySQLnd always assumes the server default charset. This charset is sent during connection
hand-shake/authentication, which mysqlnd will use.
Libmysqlclient uses the default charset set in the
my.cnf or by an explicit call to mysqli_options prior to
calling mysqli_real_connect, but after mysqli_init.
