#25297 [NEW]: mysql_ping result

From: pulstar at ig dot com dot br Operating system: Linux Debian PHP version: 4.3.3 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: mysql_ping result Description: ------------ The mysql_ping() function could not return the response time of the database server (or the ping time of its host) instead of just return TRUE? This could be useful for test if a connection is slow or the server is remote and user of not compression (I don't know if this could work anyway). Well, PHP could aslo have functions for ping and traceroute, to check if servers are up before attempt to connect on them with mysql_connect(), fsockopen(), file(), etc. :-) -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=25297&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25297&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25297&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25297&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25297&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25297&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25297&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25297&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25297&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25297&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25297&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25297&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25297&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25297&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25297&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25297&r=gnused
