mysqli::$thread_id -- mysqli_thread_id — Returns the thread ID for the current connection

### Description

Object-oriented style

int $mysqli->thread_id;

Procedural style

mysqli_thread_id(mysqli `$mysql`): int

The mysqli_thread_id() function returns the thread ID for the current connection which can then be killed using the mysqli_kill() function. If the connection is lost and you reconnect with mysqli_ping(), the thread ID will be other. Therefore you should get the thread ID only when you need it.

> Note:

> The thread ID is assigned on a connection-by-connection basis. Hence, if the connection is broken and then re-established a new thread ID will be assigned.

> To kill a running query you can use the SQL command `KILL QUERY processid`.

### Parameters

`mysql`

  Procedural style only: A mysqli object returned by mysqli_connect() or mysqli_init()

### Return Values

Returns the Thread ID for the current connection.

    <?php$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world");/* check connection */if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {    printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());    exit();}/* determine our thread id */$thread_id = $mysqli->thread_id;/* Kill connection */$mysqli->kill($thread_id);/* This should produce an error */if (!$mysqli->query("CREATE TABLE myCity LIKE City")) {    printf("Error: %s\n", $mysqli->error);    exit;}/* close connection */$mysqli->close();?>

Procedural style

    <?php$link = mysqli_connect("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world");/* check connection */if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {    printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());    exit();}/* determine our thread id */$thread_id = mysqli_thread_id($link);/* Kill connection */mysqli_kill($link, $thread_id);/* This should produce an error */if (!mysqli_query($link, "CREATE TABLE myCity LIKE City")) {    printf("Error: %s\n", mysqli_error($link));    exit;}/* close connection */mysqli_close($link);?>

The above examples will output:
