介绍
    These functions allow you to access mSQL database servers. More
    information about mSQL can be found at
    http://www.hughes.com.au/.
   
安装
  In order to have these functions available, you must compile PHP with
  msql support by using the
  --with-msql[=DIR] option. DIR is the mSQL
  base install directory, defaults to /usr/local/Hughes.
 
Note to Win32 Users: 
   In order to enable this module on a Windows environment, you must copy
   msql.dll from the DLL folder of the PHP/Win32
   binary package to the SYSTEM32 folder of your windows machine. 
   (Ex: C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32 or 
   C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32)
  
运行时配置
这些函数的行为受到全局配置文件 php.ini 的影响。
 
表格 1. mSQL configuration options
| Name | Default | Changeable | 
|---|
| msql.allow_persistent | "On" | PHP_INI_SYSTEM | 
| msql.max_persistent | "-1" | PHP_INI_SYSTEM | 
| msql.max_links | "-1" | PHP_INI_SYSTEM | 
 For further details and definition of the PHP_INI_* constants see
 
ini_set().
 
以下是该配置选项的简要解释。
  
- msql.allow_persistent
     boolean
 
      Whether to allow persistent mSQL connections.
     
- msql.max_persistent
     integer
 
      The maximum number of persistent mSQL connections per process.
     
- msql.max_links
     integer
 
      The maximum number of mSQL connections per process, including
      persistent connections.
     
 
 资源类型
     There are two resource types used in the mSQL module. The first one
     is the link identifier for a database connection, the second a resource
     which holds the result of a query.
    
预定义常量
由于这些常量是由该扩展模块定义的,因此只有在该扩展模块被编译到 PHP 中,或者在运行时被动态加载后,这些常量才有效。
范例
     This simple example shows how to connect, execute a query, print
     resulting rows and disconnect from a mSQL database.
     
例子 1. mSQL usage example 
<?php /* Connecting, selecting database */ $link = msql_connect('localhost', 'username', 'password')     or die('Could not connect : ' . msql_error($link));
  msql_select_db('database')     or die('Could not select database', $link);
  /* Issue SQL query */ $query = 'SELECT * FROM my_table'; $result = msql_query($query, $link) or die('Query failed : ' . msql_error($link));
  /* Printing results in HTML */ echo "<table>\n"; while ($row = msql_fetch_array($result, MSQL_ASSOC)) {     echo "\t<tr>\n";     foreach ($row as $col_value) {         echo "\t\t<td>$col_value</td>\n";     }     echo "\t</tr>\n"; } echo "</table>\n";
  /* Free result set */ msql_free_result($result);
  /* Close connection */ msql_close($link); ?>
