mysql_ping — Ping a server connection or reconnect if there is no connection
Checks whether or not the connection to the server is working. If it has gone down, an automatic reconnection is attempted. This function can be used by scripts that remain idle for a long while, to check whether or not the server has closed the connection and reconnect if necessary.
Забележка: Since MySQL 5.0.13, automatic reconnection feature is disabled.

Ако случайно не е намерена или създадена никаква връзка, ще се генерира предупреждение от ниво E_WARNING.

Example #1 A mysql_ping() example
<?php
set_time_limit(0);
$conn = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysqluser', 'mypass');
$db = mysql_select_db('mydb');
/* Assuming this query will take a long time */
$result = mysql_query($sql);
if (!$result) {
echo 'Query #1 failed, exiting.';
exit;
}
/* Make sure the connection is still alive, if not, try to reconnect */
if (!mysql_ping($conn)) {
echo 'Lost connection, exiting after query #1';
exit;
}
mysql_free_result($result);
/* So the connection is still alive, let's run another query */
$result2 = mysql_query($sql2);
?>
