Description

string mysql_get_server_info ( [resource link_identifier] )

Retrieves the MySQL server version.

Parameters

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.

Return Values

Examples
