Obtain MySQL version info

(1/2) > >>

Spaceman-Spiff:
I'm just wondering if its possible to get mysql version using php, like the one shown in phpinfo
i think this could be useful when i need to use specific queries that are only available in certain versions of mysql

Michele:
Take a look in install.php for function mysql_version_check($reqver) . 8)

Spaceman-Spiff:
thanks

the function i'm looking for is mysql_get_client_info and mysql_get_server_info()
cant tell the difference between them though
i guess i'll just have to use both

Wait, wait... important difference here!!!

The *client* is PHP.  This information usually is... useless.  The server is the one you want.

Spaceman-Spiff:
errr install.php uses mysql_get_client_info and php manual says: mysql_get_client_info() returns a string that represents the client library version.
