Note Submitter: Nick ---- 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"; ?>
