mysqli_real_connect    (PHP 5) mysqli_real_connect     (no version information, might be only in CVS) mysqli->real_connect -- Opens a connection to a mysql server DescriptionProcedural style bool  mysqli_real_connect ( mysqli link [, string hostname [, string username [, string passwd [, string dbname [, int port [, string socket [, int flags]]]]]]] ) Object oriented style (method) class  mysqli {  bool  real_connect ( [string hostname [, string username [, string passwd [, string dbname [, int port [, string socket [, int flags]]]]]]] ) } 
     mysqli_real_connect() attempts to establish a
     connection to a MySQL database engine running on
     hostname. 
     
     This function differs from mysqli_connect():
     
       mysqli_real_connect() needs a valid object which has
       to be created by function mysqli_init()
       
       With function mysqli_options() you can set various options for connection.
       
       With the parameter flags you can set different connection options:
       Table 1. Supported flags | Name | Description | 
|---|
 | MYSQLI_CLIENT_COMPRESS | Use compression protocol |  | MYSQLI_CLIENT_FOUND_ROWS | return number of matched rows, not the number of affected rows |  | MYSQLI_CLIENT_IGNORE_SPACE | Allow spaces after function names. Makes all function names reserved words. |  | MYSQLI_CLIENT_INTERACTIVE | 
          Allow interactive_timeout seconds (instead of 
          wait_timeout seconds) of inactivity before closing the connection
          |  | MYSQLI_CLIENT_SSL | Use SSL (encryption) |  
 Note: 
        For security reasons the MULTI_STATEMENT flag is not supported in 
        PHP. If you want to execute multiple queries use the 
        mysqli_multi_query() function.
        
 
 Return ValuesReturns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure. ExamplesExample 1. Object oriented style <?php
/* create a connection object which is not connected */
$mysqli = mysqli_init();
/* set connection options */
$mysqli->options(MYSQLI_INIT_COMMAND, "SET AUTOCOMMIT=0");
$mysqli->options(MYSQLI_OPT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT, 5);
/* connect to server */
$mysqli->real_connect('localhost', 'my_user', 'my_password', 'world');
/* check connection */
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
    printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
    exit();
}
printf ("Connection: %s\n.", $mysqli->host_info);
$mysqli->close();
?> |  
  |  
 Example 2. Procedural style <?php
/* create a connection object which is not connected */
$link = mysqli_init();
/* set connection options */
mysqli_options($link, MYSQLI_INIT_COMMAND, "SET AUTOCOMMIT=0");
mysqli_options($link, MYSQLI_OPT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT, 5);
/* connect to server */
mysqli_real_connect($link, 'localhost', 'my_user', 'my_password', 'world');
/* check connection */
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
    printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
    exit();
}
printf ("Connection: %s\n.", mysqli_get_host_info($link));
mysqli_close($link);
?> |

 The above example will output: Connection: Localhost via UNIX socket  |
