LXII. 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/.

Requirements

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/Hughes.

Note to Win32 Users: In order to enable this module on a Windows environment, you must copy msql.dll from the DLL folder of the PHP/Win32 binary package to the SYSTEM32 folder of your windows machine. (Ex: C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32 or C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32)

Runtime Configuration

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

Table 1. mSQL configuration options

NameDefaultChangeable
msql.allow_persistent"On"PHP_INI_SYSTEM
msql.max_persistent"-1"PHP_INI_SYSTEM
msql.max_links"-1"PHP_INI_SYSTEM
For further details and definition of the PHP_INI_* constants see ini_set().

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.
