mysqli::ping -- mysqli_ping — Ping la connexion au serveur et reconnecte si elle n'existe plus
Style orienté objet
Style procédural
Vérifie si la connexion au serveur fonctionne correctement. Si elle a été refermée et que l'option globale mysqli.reconnect est activée, une reconnexion automatique est tentée.
Note: Le paramètre php.ini mysqli.reconnect est ignoré par le pilote mysqlnd, donc les reconnexions automatique ne sont jamais tentées.
Cette fonction peut être utilisée pour que les clients qui restent longtemps ouverts sans action puissent vérifier que la connexion n'a pas été refermée par le serveur, et, le cas échéant, faire une reconnexion automatique.
mysql
Seulement en style procédural : Un objet mysqli retourné par la fonction mysqli_connect() ou mysqli_init().
Si le rapport d'erreurs mysqli est activé (MYSQLI_REPORT_ERROR
) et que l'opération demandée échoue,
un avertissement est généré. Si, en plus, le mode est défini sur MYSQLI_REPORT_STRICT
,
une mysqli_sql_exception est lancée à la place.
Exemple #1 Exemple avec mysqli::ping()
Style orienté objet
<?php
$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world");
/* Vérification de la connexion */
if ($mysqli->connect_errno) {
printf("Connect failed: %s\n", $mysqli->connect_error);
exit();
}
/* Vérification si la connexion est toujours active */
if ($mysqli->ping()) {
printf ("La connexion est Ok !\n");
} else {
printf ("Erreur : %s\n", $mysqli->error);
}
/* Fermeture de la connexion */
$mysqli->close();
?>
Style procédural
<?php
$link = mysqli_connect("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world");
/* Vérification de la connexion */
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
printf("Échec de la connexion : %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
exit();
}
/* Vérification si la connexion est toujours active */
if (mysqli_ping($link)) {
printf ("La connexion est Ok !\n");
} else {
printf ("Erreur : %s\n", mysqli_error($link));
}
/* Fermeture de la connexion */
mysqli_close($link);

La connexion est valide !

As jay at grooveshark dot com very helpfully pointed out, the mysqlnd driver which is becoming pretty standard does not obey reconnect commands. If you have a DB wrapper class (which hopefully you do) you can implement your own version of ping() such as:
<?php
class db extends mysqli
{
private $db_host;
private $db_user;
private $db_pass;
private $db_name;
private $persistent;
public function __construct($db_host, $db_user, $db_pass, $db_name, $persistent = true)
{
$this->db_host = $db_host;
$this->db_user = $db_user;
$this->db_pass = $db_pass;
$this->db_name = $db_name;
$this->persistent = $persistent;
parent::init();
parent::options(MYSQLI_OPT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT, 1);
@parent::real_connect(($this->persistent ? 'p:' : '') . $this->db_host, $this->db_user, $this->db_pass, $this->db_name);
if ($this->connect_errno)
die("All DB servers down!\n");
}
public function ping()
{
@parent::query('SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID()');
if ($this->errno == 2006)
$this->__construct($this->db_host, $this->db_user, $this->db_pass, $this->db_name, $this->persistent);
}
...
}
$db = new db(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASS, DB_NAME);
// Some code that potentially takes a really long time to execute goes here
// Ping for safety to try to gracefully reconnect
$db->ping();
// Now we should be able to run queries again
$db->query('SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID()');
?>
If you wanted you could even put "$this->ping();" at the top of db::query() to avoid any explicit reconnection calls but I wouldn't recommend it due to the (slight) overhead of running the cheap "SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID()" query every time prior to running your real intended query. There are probably even cheaper queries to run in favor of "SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID()" but it was the first that came to mind and is cheap enough for most purposes since you shouldn't be calling ping() a whole bunch anyway.
The behaviour about the option mysqli.reconnect is default set to Off at Debian PHP Packages. So i would recommend to update the first line description about the recommendation at the option mysqli.reconnect. (practice note ;))
