mysql_db_query
Send a MySQL query
(PHP 4, PHP 5, PECL mysql:1.0)
resource mysql_db_query ( string database, string query [, resource link_identifier] )
mysql_db_query() selects a database, and executes a query on it.
Parameters
- database
The name of the database that will be selected.
- query
The MySQL query.
- 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() was called with no arguments. If by chance no connection is found or established, an
E_WARNINGlevel warning is generated.
Return Values
Returns a positive MySQL result resource to the query result,
or FALSE on error. The function also returns TRUE/FALSE for
INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE
queries to indicate success/failure.
ChangeLog
| Version | Description |
|---|---|
| 4.0.6 | This function is deprecated, do not use this function. Use mysql_select_db() and mysql_query() instead. |
Examples
Example 1421. mysql_db_query() alternative example
<?php
if (!$link = mysql_connect('mysql_host', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password')) {
echo 'Could not connect to mysql';
exit;
}
if (!mysql_select_db('mysql_dbname', $link)) {
echo 'Could not select database';
exit;
}
$sql = 'SELECT foo FROM bar WHERE id = 42';
$result = mysql_query($sql, $link);
if (!$result) {
echo "DB Error, could not query the database\n";
echo 'MySQL Error: ' . mysql_error();
exit;
}
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
echo $row['foo'];
}
mysql_free_result($result);
?>
Notes
Be aware that this function does NOT
switch back to the database you were connected before. In other words,
you can't use this function to temporarily run a
sql query on another database, you would have to manually switch back.
Users are strongly encouraged to use the
database.table syntax in their sql queries or
mysql_select_db() instead of this function.
