note 109668 added to function.mysql-connect

A little note if your scripts sleep a lot, you want to run exactly the same SQL statement 2+ times and you have the "MySQL has gone away" error a lot. Try setting the 4th parameter to TRUE as it seems sometimes PHP doesn't spot that resource ID x which it used for the last identical lookup is now dud and so tries to use it, thus bypassing tests such as is_resource() and causing a failure. This is for when mysql_ping() doesn't work for your situation of course. ---- Server IP: 87.124.126.49 Probable Submitter: 82.69.36.150 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-connect.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/109668 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109668/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109668/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109668/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109668/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109668/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109668/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109668 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/109668 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
