I assume this is here for performance, to avoid having to establish a communication link over the network repeatedly. My tests reveal some serious overhead though. Communicating on an internal network at 100Mbps I had to combine over 300 queries to see a speed increase, and under that it was faster to do them individually. I wouldn't recommend using this to combine 3 or 4 queries if all you're after is speed. It may be more worthwhile if your database calls have to go out over the internet. Here's the benchmark I used: <?php $reps = 100; $db = new mysqli("yourserver.com", "username", "password", "dbname"); $query = "SELECT column FROM table WHERE id=1"; $start = microtime(); for ($i = 0; $i < $reps; $i++) { $result = $db->query($query); $result->close; } $end = microtime(); echo ($end - $start) . "<br>\n"; $start = microtime(); for ($i = 0; $i < $reps; $i++) { $myquery .= $query . "; "; } $db->multi_query($myquery); do { $result = $db->store_result(); $result->close; } while ($db->next_result()); $end = microtime(); echo ($end - $start) . "<br>\n"; ?> ---- Server IP: 216.194.113.175 Probable Submitter: 24.153.221.141 (proxied: 192.168.0.74) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysqli-multi-query.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+61183 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61183&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61183&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61183&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61183&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61183&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61183&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61183&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+61183&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
