# mysql_info

(PHP 4 >= 4.3.0, PHP 5, PECL mysql:1.0)

mysql_info — Get information about the most recent query

### Description

string mysql_info ([ resource `$link_identifier` ] )

Returns detailed information about the last query.

### Parameters

`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_WARNING` level warning is generated.

### Return Values

Returns information about the statement on success, or `FALSE` on failure. See the example below for which statements provide information, and what the returned value may look like. Statements that are not listed will return `FALSE`.

### Examples

Example#1 Relevant MySQL Statements

Statements that return string values. The numbers are only for illustrating purpose; their values will correspond to the query.

    INSERT INTO ... SELECT ...
    String format: Records: 23 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
    INSERT INTO ... VALUES (...),(...),(...)...
    String format: Records: 37 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
    LOAD DATA INFILE ...
    String format: Records: 42 Deleted: 0 Skipped: 0 Warnings: 0
    ALTER TABLE
    String format: Records: 60 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
    UPDATE
    String format: Rows matched: 65 Changed: 65 Warnings: 0

### Notes

> Note: mysql_info() returns a non-`FALSE` value for the INSERT ... VALUES statement only if multiple value lists are specified in the statement.
