# mysql_info

(PHP 4 >= 4.3.0, PHP 5)

mysql_info — Get information about the most recent query

Warning

This extension was deprecated in PHP 5.5.0, and it was removed in PHP 7.0.0. Instead, the MySQLi or PDO_MySQL extension should be used. See also MySQL: choosing an API guide. Alternatives to this function include:

- mysqli_info()

### Description

mysql_info(resource `$link_identifier` = NULL): string

Returns detailed information about the last query.

### Parameters

`link_identifier`

  The MySQL connection. If the link identifier is not specified, the last link opened by mysql_connect() is assumed. If no such link is found, it will try to create one as if mysql_connect() had been called with no arguments. If no connection is found or established, an `E_WARNING` level error is generated.

### Return Values

Returns information about the statement on success, or `false` on failure. See the example below for which statements provide information, and what the returned value may look like. Statements that are not listed will return `false`.

### Examples

Example #1 Relevant MySQL Statements

Statements that return string values. The numbers are only for illustrating purpose; their values will correspond to the query.

    INSERT INTO ... SELECT ...
    String format: Records: 23 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
    INSERT INTO ... VALUES (...),(...),(...)...
    String format: Records: 37 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
    LOAD DATA INFILE ...
    String format: Records: 42 Deleted: 0 Skipped: 0 Warnings: 0
    ALTER TABLE
    String format: Records: 60 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
    UPDATE
    String format: Rows matched: 65 Changed: 65 Warnings: 0

### Notes

> Note:

> mysql_info() returns a non-`false` value for the INSERT ... VALUES statement only if multiple value lists are specified in the statement.
