PHP : Function Reference : mSQL Functions

mSQL Functions

Introduction

These functions allow you to access mSQL database servers. More information about mSQL can be found at » http://www.hughes.com.au/.

Installation

In order to have these functions available, you must compile PHP with msql support by using the --with-msql[=DIR] option. DIR is the mSQL base install directory, defaults to /usr/local/msql3.

Note to Win32 Users:

In order for this extension to work, there are DLL files that must be available to the Windows system PATH. See the FAQ titled "How do I add my PHP directory to the PATH on Windows" for information on how to do this. Although copying DLL files from the PHP folder into the Windows system directory also works (because the system directory is by default in the systems PATH), it is not recommended. This extension requires the following files to be in the PATH: msql.dll

Runtime Configuration

The behaviour of these functions is affected by settings in php.ini.

Table 176. mSQL configuration options

Name Default Changeable Changelog
msql.allow_persistent "1" PHP_INI_ALL  
msql.max_persistent "-1" PHP_INI_ALL  
msql.max_links "-1" PHP_INI_ALL  


For further details and definitions of the PHP_INI_* constants, see the Appendix I, php.ini directives.

Here's a short explanation of the configuration directives.

msql.allow_persistent boolean

Whether to allow persistent mSQL connections.

msql.max_persistent integer

The maximum number of persistent mSQL connections per process.

msql.max_links integer

The maximum number of mSQL connections per process, including persistent connections.

Resource Types

There are two resource types used in the mSQL module. The first one is the link identifier for a database connection, the second a resource which holds the result of a query.

Predefined Constants

The constants below are defined by this extension, and will only be available when the extension has either been compiled into PHP or dynamically loaded at runtime.

MSQL_ASSOC (integer)
MSQL_NUM (integer)
MSQL_BOTH (integer)

Examples

This simple example shows how to connect, execute a query, print resulting rows and disconnect from a mSQL database.

Example 1380. mSQL usage example

<?php
/* Connecting, selecting database */
$link = msql_connect('localhost', 'username', 'password')
   or die(
'Could not connect : ' . msql_error($link));

msql_select_db('database', $link)
   or die(
'Could not select database');

/* Issue SQL query */
$query = 'SELECT * FROM my_table';
$result = msql_query($query, $link) or die('Query failed : ' . msql_error());

/* Printing results in HTML */
echo "<table>\n";
while (
$row = msql_fetch_array($result, MSQL_ASSOC)) {
   echo
"\t<tr>\n";
   foreach (
$row as $col_value) {
       echo
"\t\t<td>$col_value</td>\n";
   }
   echo
"\t</tr>\n";
}
echo
"</table>\n";

/* Free result set */
msql_free_result($result);

/* Close connection */
msql_close($link);
?>

acroyear

To those porting code from w3-msql/lite to php, a few functions are different or missing (aside from the fact that the order of arguments is reversed and the other signatures are different...not good design work, imho, or was it built for msql 1.x?  At any rate, conformity with the C and Lite API should have been maintained.).
The lite/C function msqlStoreResult() is automatically done in msql_query() and msql().  
msql_fetch_field() doesn't give you the field length value (unlike msqlFetchField()).  You have to call msql_fieldlen() to get that.
msqlEncode() is missing.  The functionality (which is needed for pretty much ALL SQL based rdbms's) is in addSlashes() in the String library.
